having different defaults for different countries is going to be a
problem anyway, since not every developer is going to know every
country default

IMHO the safer way is to tag dual-carriage ways in some explicit way,
either with oneway=yes or with some other tag that _always_ implies
oneway (like the junction=roundabout one): the relation may be one
such solution

In Italy we are adding the explicit oneway tag even to motorways, just
to be on the safe side
