Do you suggest to stick with (counter)clockwise then?

Is there really a use case? How many circular routes are made up of only 
one or two ways? I suppose one could add the information to the ways 
then in that special case.

The counter(clockwise) designation doesn't work well in cases of 
touching or crossing ways (figure 8 shaped trails for example) or when 
alternative routes are included in the relation.
