You're right, I meant the whole information is still there. Oneway=no says
"I was there, and it's definitely twoway" so if you remove that tag, you
lose that. But I feel you lose nothing when you remove usage=power, because
it adds no additional meaning or even meta information. Everybody knew its
usage was power.

I would never remove the tag, I was just talking about tags in general.
