I can add, that in fact we already have the 'name' attribute 
containg the external numbers 
(except for preprinted tiles numbered < 0, but those don't matter).

See for instance in the generic tiles/Tiles.xml:

	<Tile colour="green" id="12" name="12">
		<Station id="city1" position="0" slots="1" type="City"
value="30"/>
		<Track from="city1" gauge="normal" to="side1"/>
		<Track from="city1" gauge="normal" to="side2"/>
		<Track from="city1" gauge="normal" to="side3"/>
	</Tile>
	<Tile colour="green" id="1012" name="12">
		<Station id="city1" position="0" slots="2" type="City"
value="50"/>
		<Track from="city1" gauge="normal" to="side1"/>
		<Track from="city1" gauge="normal" to="side2"/>
		<Track from="city1" gauge="normal" to="side3"/>
	</Tile>

So we're fine on that aspect.
