most think it should be your first choice, two ways with separate nodes. 
some argue for
choice 2 (generally GIS people who don't  like duplicate nodes), and 
some bots and other
tools push that way.

i've not heard of anyone advocating choice 3. me, i stick with 1, if it 
were ever decided
that 2 was the thing to do, it'd be possible to get there with a bot.
