The problem seems to be that mappers needed a tag for a small roundabout
on a node. Since all that was available was mini_roundabout, that's what
we used. Had there been another tag, e.g. highway=roundabout, we
wouldn't have this discussion. But mini_roundabout is now in use for a
large number of miniature roundabouts that may not be strictly
mini-roundabouts.
There's been a similar case recently with surface=cobblestone apparently
not being "real" cobblestone but something called 'sett'. Someone tried
to change the tag definitions, but it was way too late.
