[OSM-talk] ferry route speed

It is only loops that you need ordered elements for, for directional
elements you can add 'forward' and 'backward' roles. Check out some stuff

Having said that, I think the whole public transport bit is still 'work in
progress' and your idea about adding other features first might be a good
idea.
