And that's part of what's wrong with it.  You still haven't explained how to
handle stop signs on bi-directional, one lane road.  You haven't explained
how to handle lane-changes.  You require ways to be split every time the
number of lanes changes (though I guess any system with "lanes=*" does
that).  You don't explain how to record where lanes can be changed and where
they can't.  You require adding children to every single bi-directional road
in the world that merely has a stop sign.

And you seem to be opposed to splitting ways in situations where there is a
painted median.  Yet you offer no explanation of how to handle the situation
in the example I provided, where all the commercial solutions split the way.

It is a reason to do it.  But it's a reason to do it right.
