The ways must be split so that they end (or begin) at the
intersection. (This is required for most of the relation proposals
anyway, IIRC.)

Then, each way to which a stop sign applies should be tagged with
stop=at_last_node (or stop=at_first_node). Seems simple enough.

It's a pity that "_last_" and/or "_first" must be specified, but that
is the only way you get away with not making a relation - it encodes
way and node information in a single tag.
