I'm guessing from a routing application point of view it is better
to add a rule to handle oneway=true, even though the Map Features
page only defines yes/no or -1 as valid values (and hence maplint
highlights =true as an error - I've fixed a number of roads in this
area to be =yes rather than =true).

Or perhaps someone should write a OneWayBot to change all
oneway=true tags to oneway=yes? And perhaps all the -1s could be yes
as well and Map Features could just show yes/no - but while I think
about it why would you want to tag oneway=no when that is assumed,
the bot could remove all the oneway=no tags and we'd have a really
clean database... ;)
