Tagging the nodes makes perfect sense in this case and was already in the kerb proposal, so that goes pretty much without saying. I've been thinking a bit more about tagging ways. In my case, I mostly have ways along the physical location of the kerb as I use them as the border of landuse areas, but should it also be allowed to tag them on highway=* ways? The assumption would be that if a way has both the highway and the kerb tag that the way does not represent the physical location of the kerb, but the kerb is at the outer edge (exact location given implicitly by the width tag on the highway, undetermined if not present) of the highway. In this case, kerb:left=* and kerb:right=* should be allowed if the kerb is different on the 2 sides of the highway.
