Both of those are better, thanks!

The routers that I use for testing seem to be aware of crossings without
crossing nodes, so I too often forget to tag them.

Having the STOP signs tagged as I did works, since 'direction=forward'
means 'when approaching this node on the forward direction of any
connecting way', but your method is more robust against inadvertently
reversing one way and not the other.

I'm posting from a smartphone, so I'm not in a good position to review the
change log. I'll let you and Emvee sort it out.
