It's really not different in any significant way from the psv_directions
proposal.  The only differences:

psv_directions uses an underscore instead of a colon to separate the tag
from the subtag.  (trivial/superficial difference)

The access namespace proposal explicitly says that the vehicle type can
be replaced.  I'm sure we'd end up with bicycle_directions,
hgv_directions, etc. so we might as well say it up front.  And then we
might as well have all the other "access restrictions" (psv_maxweight,
etc.).  And we might as well bundle them together so it's a little more
obvious that they all have the same meaning (I might not know offhand
what "psv_directions=no" is, since psv is not a common term around here.
 Same for hgv_directions)  And once you get there, you're at the access
namespace proposal.

> In your example, access:psv:oneway=no  could also be access:oneway:psv=no  or even psv:access:oneway=no with the same spirit (I mean we can decide to put access first, but the next subtags should be all defined and ordered, or we would have to tolerate mis-order)

They are defined and ordered in the relevant proposal.  you might say
the same about psv_directions: it could also be directions_psv.  ;-)
