No formal standard.  Obviously, there'd be directions for each connection
point, so having them as attributes of the point tag in connections should
work.  Something like

  <connections>
    <point x="3" y="2" north="closed" west="closed"/>
  </connections>

If no directions are given, use the 'intelligence'.  Otherwise, those
directions mentioned are as set and the rest are the opposite way.  

Any comments, Alan?
