The reason for tag/value pairs such as oneway=no is that the absence of a
oneway tag can mean either that it is unknown whether a given way is
one-way or not, or that it is definitely known to be not be one-way. Using
one-way=no states that it is definitely known not to be one-way.

In OSM if oneway=no then it's not oneway and the oneway tag should not
appear at all.
The only time oneway should appear is in the case of oneway=yes - and the
'=yes' is superfluous.
OSM's k=v design is completely a serious and unnecessary flaw. Similarly
are 'categories' like man_made', and 'amenity'.
Why can we not simply stick to hard facts rather guessing what categor(ies)
an object fits in
A fountain is a fountain. It does not matter if it is
- an amenity
- man made
- natural water (???!!)
etc. Such categorization is semi-ambiguous; people think differently and
are happy to categorize differently - and more - argue over categories.
OSM is 90% argument, 5% dead-end discussions and 5% progress. The whole is
not a marketable product; it's not fit to be rated as 'beta'. Is this a
significant cause of ex-mappers ? It's a flipping brilliant project but
sadly lacking a great leader.
