If you mistakenly check the "one way" box on a road preset in iD, unchecking 
the box chafes the value to no, rather than "assumed to be no" (which is the 
default absence of the tag).  Clicking the box again resets it to "assumed to 
be no" , but soce we already know the route isn't one way, 
I bet a lot of people, myself included, simply uncheck the box (making it no) 
rather than the trash can to delete the tag. I bet that is where a lot of them 
are coming from.

I don't think people are intentionally tagging so many oneway=no, tags - it's 
just misunderstanding the presets. Maybe there are some situations where 
oneway=no is important (odd motorway situations), but I bet a ton of them are 
checkbox spam from iD.
