[josm-dev] Reversing of node tags

I am currently pondering about http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/4149

(JOSM is producing an exception when the reversal of a way that
included reversing of a tag is undone.  This is because the tag
correction is done on a intermediate way which does not belong to a
dataset and when undoing this JOSM tries to look up the nodes from the
node ids in the WayData.)

While looking a the code I noticed that JOSM is looking at all the way
nodes for reversible tags.  Does it even make sense to have nodes with
direction dependent tags?  I doubt that.  This is ambiguous when more
than one way uses that node (and JOSM does not check for this when
reversing the tags).

If there are no objections I will remove that from the code.
