I think the point of being a node is that the river and highway actually join so the topology is correct. I don't immediately see how you would do that if it were a property of the highway alone, but if you did, I agree that ford=yes would be the right way to do it. I've only come across fords three times while mapping so far. Two were fine for nodes, but one was a peculiar arrangement where the stream (two streams in fact) ran along the carriageway for about 50m. Indeed there was both a road junction and stream junction in the middle of it. I was certainly stumped on how to map this without a longer ford, though in this case sharing nodes all the way along would have been a possibility.
