I agree to:
This tag is
- not necessary for routing
- senseless on ways
- only useful on nodes (the last one, where no other way is connected)

The wiki should be changed, especially the use on ways should be removed.

It is useful for quality-check programs to determine "This is not a 
missing connection to nearby ways". (false positives)
A note would have to be clear and machine-readable for this case.

It might be useful for renderers as on a map it might look as a 
connection (because of oversize of rendered ways).
But this could be determined by preprocessing also.
