According to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Relation:type%3Dstop ,
it seems like you would just have 3 relations. The first relation would
include the node for the top intersection and the two streets with the
stop signs.

I didn't consider 3), but it doesn't seem right to have an approach
that requires stop signs to be tagged separately from the intersection
(see my other email).

Somewhat off topic, but what about expanding the stop relation proposal
to handle traffic signals, yield signs, and whatever else is
appropriate? (with highway=stop or highway=traffic_signals allowed for
nodes where all the ways coming in are restricted by the stop or
lights).
