Sorry, I may have missed part of this endless discussion. But how do I tag a dead-end sign on a road (e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zeichen_357.svg). These signs exist in various forms in various countries, and they are placed at the beginning of the road or stretch of roads which don

This is not so obvious, because it has to be directional (for the router). If you start your route in such a dead-end street you never get out, if it's not directional. The noexit=yes on the way to me seems much simpler and intuitive. (I used the tag initially in this way, when I started with OSM.

Any decent router will totally ignore a noexit=yes tag as it determines the topology from the actual ways and how they are connected. The noexit=yes tag serves only one purpose and has two different "data consumers": the next human mapper that comes along and automated QA tools. It allows those
