Would it be possible to have an extra tag to tie this "orphan"
junction_number node to the real ways?
I'm thinking of an extra node tag like
"associated_way=123519;123520;123521", which would imply that this
junction_number node describes a junction drawn as ways 123519,
123520, and 123521 (maybe the roundabout and two slip roads
respectively).
That way, you can still gather and render the data - and when/if a
better solution appears, it should be a simple automated process to
convert this to whatever new format we've chosen.
I think this would solve your last paragraph ("a short-term solution
which can be updated when the technology allows"), but apologies if
I've misunderstood.
cheers
