As for the nodes, theoretically you could have a node in the relation, but the importing process for osm2pgsql would ignore it (even our route-relations-aware version that Dave developed). That's why nodenets currently have a separate node. Unless Dave corrects me on this.

Re: [OSM-talk] Cycle lanes

else could model them as separate ways when they had the time (in the same way that there's nothing wrong with a parking node when you can't/don't want to draw the area in full). If, however, someone came along and removed my separate ways and added cycleway=track
