Funnily enough we were discussing roundabouts on a non-OSM related
list yesterday, and I looked up Greenstead Roundabout in Colchester

This is a roundabout where you can go either way around the "big"
roundabout, and at each junction with a road there is a
mini-roundabout. When these sort of roundabouts, often nicknamed
"Magic Roundabouts"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Roundabout_(Hemel_Hempstead)
cropped up on this other email list I wondered how they were tagged
in OSM, because of the implied oneway of junction=roundabout.

In the Colchester example it is a circular primary route with 5
mini-roundabouts at the junctions. I wonder whether 
  junction=roundabout
  oneway=no
would have had the same results? Or would renderers think to check
for oneway=no on roundabouts?
