Maybe I should write up the proposal as I see it, but all I'm proposing is:

divider=* tag on ways that are divided, where * is probably one of line,
median, barrier.
junction=*something*, to indicate a gap in a divided road where another road
passes through it.

ie:
     |
=====+=========
     |

With junction=fourway or whatever at the +.


You could equally well implement the junction like this:


          |
=====*----+----*=========
          |

Where * is a node, + is a junction, - is a normal way, and = is a way marked
with divider=*.
