JOSM supports exit_to. JOSM doesn't support destination.

Following the text by Martin I updated
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway_junction#Destinations.
I indeed think it's a good idear to be clear in the communication of any
(to be) deprecated tag.

Most exit_to's seem to be used in the US. I checked upon a
motorway_junction in the US (New York) where I noticed that the name=* of
the motorway_junction had been replaced by exit_to=* with the same value.
The US does not seem to use the name=* on the motorway_junction. Two
questions on that:

1. does the tag exit_to=* on a motorway_junction in your opinion have the
same meaning as the tag name=* on that motorway_junction?
2. if your answer to the first question is no, than what is the difference?
