[Routing] [motorway_link] description of direction

Yes, that is possible.
But this info must not only
Be avaliable to signposting=rendering
the instrutions but computer-readable
for the earlier navigation itself.

That would be desirable. However, I could imagine that there will be  
a number of junctions where there is some "specialist knowledge" on  
how to navigate them best, something that every local knows but a  
person just driving through will not. Our crowdsourcing approach  
would allow us to capture this knowledge and make it available even  
to strangers. So I fully expect many junctions to have a bit of extra  
information, in addition to what can be done programmatically.

Frederik
