Hello all,
I recently mapped a subdivision where
the cul-de-sacs really were miniroundabouts
rather than turning circles. Kinda cool and
unique. So there are, very occasionally, times
when miniroundabout is appropriate for the end of a cul-de-sac.

So we have 2 people in favor of discarding the circular portion of the
Way and just using a node with highway=turning_circle. I actually
also use this approach on roads such as this:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/157338683
I distinguish between having a solid paved surface and a traffic
island. This seems to make sense based on the recommendations for
dual carriage ways (presence of physical separation causing separate
Ways).
According to the wiki:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dturning_circle:
"There is no central island/reservation to a turning circle—it's
simply a wider bit of road."
Are you saying that you delete these circular portions of ways and
replace with a node?
