The official current Wiki convention for interstate tagging

motorway_junction tag
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway_junction
introduces a new exit_to= tag to record exit sign destinations.
There was no response to a question on the tagging list as to whether
the name= should contain all exit destinations from the sign.

Some have commented that placing exit sign information in the name
results in a cluttered map because the name renders instead of the
ref. I agree with this. Since I believe the name={signInfo] is a
US-only convention and there are no other strong opinions, we should
look at changing this. If there are no other comments, I'll outline
the steps we'll need to go through to change this.
i think you're right. this has been bothering me for some time.
