[Tagging] oneway=yes on motorways

[Volker Schmidt]

I just noticed an apparent contradiction regarding the use of the oneway
tag between the wiki pages key:oneway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway> and motorway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway> .
The former states:
"Some tags (such as junction
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:junction>=roundabout
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Droundabout>, highway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=motorway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway> and others)
imply oneway=yes and therefore the oneway tag is optional,
the latter states:
"These ways should all point direction of travel and be tagged with oneway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway>=yes"
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:oneway%3Dyes>

What is the agreed standard, if any?
