this is already the commonly agreed, documented since 15 years, meaning of
oneway=yes. Nothing added.

Like in "they may not legally walk in the oneway direction"? Which
jurisdiction is this?
In the jurisdictions I am aware of, in absence of a pavement you have to
walk on the road / carriageway. You may not do so only if there are signs
that prohibit pedestrian usage.

I do not have difficulty with it, it is just meaningless. A similar case
for access tags would be motor_vehicle=no and then add a motorcar=no. It
doesn't add anything.
