That's right. There's two acceptable approaches to dealing with this:

1) use a relation to relate the way and intersection - for this, I see
nothing wrong with
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Relation:type%3Dstop

or

2) use a way and an implicit reference to a node to relate the way and
intersection - this is what David is proposing here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:stop

The "implicit reference to a node" is in the form of
"at_first_node/at_last_node", etc.

So IMHO David's proposal is a good way to avoid the use of a relation
- if that is what people want. I personally don't mind relations as
they're more explicit and not dependent on way direction. Either way,
you have to split the way at the junction where the stop sign applies.
