Given that most peoples' editors don't show the direction of segments, 
wouldn't it be easier to say "oneway=N", to indicate that you can go north 
along the road? It's more human-readable, and can be edited without having to 
rearrange segments, and can be extended to complex things (e.g. "oneway=N, 
bus:oneway=S")
