I agree. I have mapped some hiking trails in Korea and noticed there is nothing specific to mark the start of a trail.
I suppose it could be done programmatically. It is clear which node is the first one, so it could be rendered differently, with extra detail extracted from the tags on the track itself. However, explicit is better than implicit, so I'd like to see something for this.
