I'd like to see a proposal for tag agnostic tagging of left and right
e.h. prepend all directional tags with left:cycleway=lane and
right:cycleway=line.

So any editor just needs to shovel through the tags and toggle the
left/right prefix.

So in the future everybody inventing new directional tags does not need
to care on the editors.

PS: I the end i would like to see all directional attributes to be put
into a seperate relation than the street but the above would at least
make it easier for data consistency until then.
