The user may understand, but the device won't if there are no tags.

However I see below that I've been misunderstanding what you've been
saying, and you're not saying to get rid of the tags.

When I say "relatively easy" I mean relative to the significant effort
required to build the entire conversion process. I don't mean "trivial".

Okay, this makes a lot of sense. Sorry but I missed this part of your
argument before. Tagging the roundabout in some way is very important to
preserve meaning, not just appearance.
