[OSM-talk] [tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (PSV_directions)

I fully agree that PSV is not the best term to use. I had to look for its meaning also.
More generally speaking, there are many tags that should be adapted depending on countries. 

But that is not really my point.
My point is that I need to tag a street which is one-way for cars, and 2-ways for buses.
Changing the whole tagging system, with a kind of "object oriented" method, or changing the name of PSV, are surely good ideas, but my question is: 
do you think my need is a frequent one? If yes, do you think the way I try to address is is relevant?
If I get a double YES, we may validate the tag.

And then, if it is decided in another thread, we may replace PSV by Bus automatically for all tags, and we may change the tagging system.

But I would be sad if the modification I NEED is rejected just because the tagging system is not the best one...

Thanks

Nor, I think, would most from the US.  When I first looked at the 
description ("public service vehicle") my first thought was "emergency 
vehicle" (police, fire, ambulance).  IMHO, "bus" or something derived 
from "public transit" (ptv?) would make more sense, both within and 
outside the UK.
