Tagging it on a way can just be as confusing. The router might never 
enter the street, because right at the begging of the street it says 
noexit=yes.
Bascially you don't have to tagg it for the router at all, because it 
will see there is a street that does not continiue. And if it continiues 
with a footpath then it will see that you can't drive there with a car.
Because of that alone a nonexit=yes is a bad solution as default tag for 
dead end road when there is a sign, because often people on foot or bike 
can still continue, but nonexit=yes suggests they can not.
