Isn't "assumed" the same as "implied" in this context?

Are you taking "implied" to mean "It is implied that you must also use 
this other tag"?  Because I've been using it to mean that there is no 
need to use this other tag because it is implied by the first one.

IMO, highway=motorway(_link) is to oneway=yes as highway=* is to 
bridge=no.  (and motorcar=yes, hgv=yes, etc.) in that there is no need 
to add the latter when the former is there.
