That's very interesting. I didn't know about the exit:to tag and apparently nobody else does either because taginfo shows zero occurrences of it.

Taginfo also shows 381 uses of exit_to:left and 334 uses of exit_to:right so perhaps that's something to look at also.

exit:facility needs to be set by the style, exit:to looks like
a proposed OSM tag never introduced.
But I admit that I don't really understand the examples in that mail...
