While I prefer refrences in the text describing inportant info about a route (as we currently use) as opposed to having to interprit an X/R or E type system, I wonder if in the future we may need to move to a simpler system simply to cope with the huge number of routes there are going to be. At the rate their being pumped out in the gramps etc at the moment in 10 years (let alone 50 years) time the guidebook collection containing routes with written descriptions would be the size of the encyclopedia britanicca! One benefit of the english system would be that you could simplify things by having only diagrams and grades. Anyway, thats a point for the future.
