[Tagging] default value for "oneway"

[Simon Poole]

I believe that you haven't explicitly said so, but probably essentially
want to be able to find streets that haven't been surveyed and
potentially need a oneway tag and avoid false positives (aka such that
are actually bi-directional).

I don't believe you'll get any further with the oneway tag, but given
that we have similar issues for example with name tags, you could
consider something like proposed in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Internal_quality ,
in your case

validate:no_oneway


Simon

PS: the noname tag is actually substantially more popular than
validate:no_name but if you are inventing something new, you might as
well stick to the validate: scheme.
