The issue with what that clique has been doing with Ontario and Quebec highway exits is not only tagging for the renderer, but also not following best tagging practices followed elsewhere. For exits, most of Canada generally observing the practices documented at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Exit_Info. Also there is a note about the use of name=* for highway=motorway_junction, which I quote here:
- name=* for the name of the junction or interchange. Do not confuse the *name of a junction* with the *destination(s) the junction *leads to. In most cases worldwide, sign information describes destinations, not the name of the junction or interchange itself. If a signpost or indication displays destinations exclusively, this data belongs to destination=* tags, *not* the name=* of the highway=motorway_junction node. In this case, the names in the exits are not an innocent mistake, but a problematic tagging practice perpetuated by a small group of mappers. Add to the problem is that name=* is rendered at the main map layer, further encouraging some mappers to tag destinations as “names” just for the render result.
