[Routing] Ferry routing

All,

I live on an island in British Columbia, Canada, and many routes that I want to take are going to cross a ferry at some point.  I've been having problems routing over ferries with routing servies (Cloudmade or Open Mapquest) who use OSM.  Oddly it seems to correctly route over ferries attributed with route=ferry, but not ferries where the end points are attributed with (presumably correct) amenity=ferry_terminal.  Which is correct?  Is there a bug in the routing, or should the ferry routes/terminals be attributed differently?

Cheers,

~James
