::::: In the latter meaning "+" stands for "track is coming from {1|l|2|3|r|4}"! Now tell me from where does the track come in "WYEr+fg"? From forward (which is implicit if not noted else) and from the opposite direction (that's where we usually travel to!) ??

(Undent) The + in WYE came about, I believe, because when we worked out WYE as "tripoint" icons where all three directions would be explicitly indicated, It felt better to have an "origination" point (in this case, whichever is placed symmetrically to the other two) than to have three direction suffixes without the +. I dunno about you, but {{bsq|ABZqlr|WYEglr}} makes me... squirmy. At least "wye to top from left and right" is a pretty straightforward explanation if someone asks, but we ARE discussing new schemes, so I'm sure UsedDenim is all ears if you got a better idea (especially if that idea deals well with "nonsymmetric" WYE icons, which are bound to arise eventually).
