Ok, now I get the point of our difference. What I don't mean is to have 
the way to the services have it's own tag - BTW: the map features only 
mentiones nodes - please read the page before discussing ;-)

I guess motorway_link is fine here.

What I do want is a tag for the "exit" itself. This is not a normal exit 
and shouldn't be tagged as such, but is important enough to be tagged 
differently.

As I've already mentioned, we'll need a good and detailed description 
wiki page first (with pictures), how the specialties of motorways should 
be tagged (exits, junctions, services, parking, ...), and then we can 
think of how the tags should be named. Discussing on the current level 
is basically a waste of time IMHO.
