[Tagging] Wild changes to wiki pages changing the cycleway tagging scheme

["Christian Müller"]

This is not or at best conditionally true.

oneway:bicycle=no tells you /nothing more/ than that bicycles
can pass in both directions of a oneway, but it does not tell
you /where/ in the street or /how/, nor about the degree of
safety doing so, i.e. if a lane is marked.

cycleway:[left|right|both|none]:oneway=[-1|no] is specific
about a marked lane or track, which means that the information
is less imprecise and that you can do a lot more with it when
using that data to render maps.


For the general aspect you've selected to talk about your
findings are true, but this is one among many uses of the
data, read: a selective interpretation of data.
