More than the original discussion :)

At the end of the day we are now down to a level where the fine detail is more 
important than simply getting all the roads plotted.
I see nothing wrong with the original post ... I recognise the scenario from 
tomtom as well not even using OSM data!
The only thing that I think is wrong with the post is that 'Don't tag sliproads 
onto roundabouts as junction=roundabout' is probably not the cause of the error 
in garmin, but rather simply the split of the main way. It is that area that 
needs to be investigated a little further since 'junction=roundabout' just seems 
wrong anyway.
