but is a clearance to cross other runways that
intersect the taxi route to that assigned takeoff runway.


Ok, so you are cleared to runway 21. One taxi route takes you across runway
8-26, another equally direct one does not. You are not given a taxi route.

I take it (in the US) you may choose your route and cross 8-26.

Anybody take it differently?
