[Tagging] Center turning lanes: centre_turn_lane=yes method vs. lanes:both_ways method

I like the centre_turn_lane=yes method.

But there is also the lanes= x|x|x method as shown on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lanes

Assume I have a 5-lane road with two normal lanes in each direction and a
centre-turn lane in the middle (right-hand traffic).

The lane directions are:
direction:lanes=backward|backward|both|forward|forward

How do I tag the turn instructions?
Is it:
turn:lanes=left|through|both_ways|through|right
(i.e. the turn direction is referred  to the direction of the way)?

Or or should the turn direction be referred to the direction of the lane,
i.e.
turn:lanes=right|through|both_ways|through|right
?

BTW the centre_turn_lane=yes method generates a JOSM warning:
"missing tag - street with odd number of lanes, but without lanes:forward
and lanes:backward or oneway "
