a routing node can not take any fee for its service though. and every node is a routing node if there is more than a single channel to the network

edit: it looks like there is actually a fee per (routing)node. but it's mentioned much later in the specs and the place i looked at was/is not up-to-date

Huh? Yes they can. You can take whatever percentage you want, but don't expect anyone to route through you, if your fee is very high.
