Wiki page could use some clarification.  Superrelations, where the members
are child relations, should have roles of
north/south/east/west/clockwise/anticlockwise as appropriate.   The child
relations (and routes with only one relation) should have forward/backward
if applicable; and if a child, then all members of the child will have
forward or backward, and the relation itself will have direction=* agreeing
with it's role in the superrelation.
