Well, the idea behind this selector test was to make it easy to tell
oneway=yes/1/-1 from oneway=no or missing oneway, for example. This
allows for simpler conditions in selectors. Probably, way[highway]
form shouldn't match oneway=no. Also, probably 0 should be treated the
same as no.
However, JOSM approach to MapCSS is slightly different: they decided
to remove this boolean condition. So in JOSM way[highway] matches
highway=no and way[!highway] doesn't match highway=no.
I don't know which approach is better, but we need to decide somehow.
