    In the case you have added e.g. a stop sign on the way. A second
    mapper comes in, splits the way on the stop sign, reverts the
    direction of one of the spit parts. Now the node is at the end of 2
    ways with different direction and one cannot know what is
    forward/backward in that node. But any good editor can give a
    warning/error for such a case.



yes, the editor can issue a warning, but what should be the reaction then? Shall we discourage changing way directions because of a stop sign node on this way? Usually there's a good reason for people changing way directions, adding more complexity to these changes with highway signs depending on them is not necessary.

It is just a warning, that this is one of the seldom situations where you need a relation - just check, obey and ignore afterwards.
Furthermore the editor can check for the relation too.

Yes there is a possibillity for such a situation, but I doubt they would be essentially - and it can be solved by a relation. But a pure possibility should not effect the majority of simple situations - it is OSM-like to consider simple solutions and spare relations for the difficult ones only.
