Let's explain in details. We let alone the Xmas trees. Assuming real noexit, the typical cases <http://overpass-turbo.eu/map.html?Q=%3C%21--%0AThis%20has%20been%20generated%20by%20the%20overpass-turbo%20wizard.%0AThe%20original%20search%20was%3A%0A%E2%80%9Cnoexit%3Dyes%E2%80%9D%0A--%3E%0A%3Cosm-script%20output%3D%22json%22%20timeout%3D%2225%22%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3Cquery%20type%3D%22way%22%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Chas-kv%20k%3D%22noexit%22%20v%3D%22yes%22%2F%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Cbbox-query%20s%3D%2250.66839555058174%22%20w%3D%225.717890262603759%22%20n%3D%2250.67569820203223%22%20e%3D%225.731172561645508%22%2F%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3C%2Fquery%3E%0A%20%20%3C%21--%20print%20results%20--%3E%0A%20%20%3Cprint%20mode%3D%22body%22%2F%3E%0A%20%20%3Crecurse%20type%3D%22down%22%2F%3E%0A%20%20%3Cprint%20mode%3D%22skeleton%22%20order%3D%22quadtile%22%2F%3E%0A%3C%2Fosm-script%3E> *look like* two normal junctions at each way end but one of them *is in fact *a dead end. Why would we tag noexit on the way and request the beholder to zoom in each end to determine which is dead if we can tag the information clearly on the end node? What about T shaped ways where the top way contains 2 dead ends? "gotcha, there were 2"? Now, instead of a vertical bar, what about a small (or larger) mesh like /rue Grétry/: are we going to tag as dead ends all the segments of the mesh up to the normal junction even if they're not directly related with a dead end? And, BTW, are we speaking (in Subject:) of ways or of roads? Must we apply noexit=yes to both ways of the same road when we split one? How would the brave contributor splitting a way cope with that if he hasn't got the faintest notion of what noexit is (no blame on him!)? These are [probably a part of] the questions that raise and should be settled and that no one advocating noexit on ways mentioned. Frankly, noexit on nodes (as designed) is much more logical and simple (than on ways, of course).
Cheers, André.
