A little nitpick (Its always possible to optimize something :) )

As it happens i live in a street which is intersected by a roundabout.
As the roundabout does not have the street name on it this will produce 
multiple segments. So probably it should be directly connected
or via a way with "junction=roundabout" ...

But this is just a little optimization probably for the next generation ;)
