Of course has a roundabout a start and finishing point, and this points 
are the same. For me is it not visible there this point is, but this 
also does not intereset me.

For the renderer is this one way, even the whole roundabout. Look 
further! For every routing the routerer have know there the roundabout 
has to be left. How should this going if the end of this way is also the 
starting point? Your nice OSM based navi is send thrue the roundabout 
again and again and again ... :-)

Once again, from where should the navi know there to leave the roundabout?

Whats so differend to bridges in refrence to a relation, or road over 
half europe? I think it's only correct to split the roundabout into peaces.

With not splitted roundabout will every check of the relation in order 
of the correct order of the elements fail! That whould make my life not 
realy easier.

for example
http://ra.osmsurround.org/osm.jsp?relationId=93622
or
