You say "the node" when you mean "a node somewhere near the node".

I don't like your proposed solution. Nothing personal :) Perhaps
others would like to state their preference from the following so we
can narrow down the options?:

1) a relation with the node and the way as members, as in,
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Relation:type%3Dstop)
2) the way tagged with indirect reference to the node (i.e. start or
end node of way) - as in, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:stop
3) an extra node tagged, placed on the way, "near" the intersection
(Pieren's email)

I prefer 1) for a number of reasons. IMHO, 2) and 3) are more or less
attempts to mimic 1) in order to avoid using a relation.
