Uplinker, this (your suggestion) is generally how most airports are already laid out.
It becomes an issue when the taxiways are named differently along the same route and where ATC insists of naming each bit of taxiway between two intersections uniquely for reference and starts using them in the taxi clearance.

The Amsterdam standard taxi routes could be rewritten to resemble DUB style from:
  • Delta 4 via the South; into
  • Via Victor, at Victor Mike Right on Zulu, Cross Zulu 2 and Zulu 1, Turn Right onto Quebec, Left on Bravo, Continue Passing Alpha 2, Alpha 3 and Alpha 4, Left at Alpha 5, Cross Taxiway B, Onto Ramp (to be named) and Parking at Delta 4.

Similarly the Dublin layout could be revised to convert a clearance from:
  • Link 5, Fox Outer, Link 4, Foxtrot 3, Foxtrot 2, Hold Short Link 2, Give Way to the Shamrock A321 coming from the right at Bravo, Then via Alpha Continue Foxtrot 1, Echo 1 to Hold Short Runways 28 & 34; into
  • Echo 1 via Foxtrot, Giving Way to Shamrock A321 at Bravo.

Reading the above examples, which would be the better one to challenge and change?
