All of which are good reasons to draw HOV lanes as separate ways. I've also 
sometimes drawn the HOV parts of onramps separately, since it is the 
cleanest way to tag different access restrictions, number of lanes, traffic 
control devices, etc.

What is the alternative? Some kind of tagging scheme that refers to 
individual lanes within a single way? That's already kind of annoying when 
trying to accurately map bike lanes (because they don't exactly follow the 
car lanes physically or schematically).
