I played with it yesterday, too, but was not succesful. At least
MapSource didn't show this entries.
But to be usefull I think we would need a lot of help from mkgmap.
For exit:to and exit:facilities.
For exit:to we would need the direction (N,S,O,W,...) and for
exit:facilities we need to look, what other interesting POI are there.

Where/how do you search for them?

I have:
highway=motorway_junction { name '${ref} ${name}' | '${ref}' | '${name}' }
highway=motorway_junction [0x2000 level 2]
highway=services                                [0x210f level 2 default_name 'Services']

In my rules and can search for them in MapSource.

Only exit:to (my problem here is, if you look how motorway_junction
is tagged, that I don't know how to get access to the exit_to/destination
tags in the style file.
