The bottom line for me is, there are too many different laws, too many different license types, too many different vehicles, too many different defaults, ... thus a simple tag as originally proposed cannot work. tom ___ Tagging mailing list

It's not a question of common sense, it's a question of law... Countries and states may differ, but they will all have a default plus a way of indicating any exceptions. In OSM we tend to omit values that are default; however there is always a way to make the default explicit if one requires.

Off topic: In my opinion, that's how *all* access tags should have been. It's incredibly many who don't know that bicycle=yes/no/whatever is an access tag and not a "route choice opinion" or something like that. So they put bicycle=no if they don't think it fits their commute bike...
