[Tagging] Relation Junctions used for roundabouts

Hi! On the wiki page of junction=roundabout the Junctions proposal (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Junctions) is mentioned and it is claimed, that we have to use a relation in case the way of the roundabout is split up. Is this common practice? Furthermore on that wiki page
