No need for a proposal and a vote to do that. Just go ahead and recommend it.

That's the case already, no change here. Only motorways are rather
universally expected to be oneway.

That's useless. You're not writing a spec to generate code in a
language that has a concept of nulls, you're writing some
documentation that might, maybe, be read by consumers and
implementors. And if all you can tell them is "it's your call" you
might as well not waste their time and not tell them anything.

That contradicts the "no implied oneway=yes" statement and is
inconsistent with the recomendation for renderers. Just leave the
status quo (most routers assume oneway=no) in peace please. I've given
examples before explaining why a mistaken oneway=yes assumption is
worse than a mistaken oneway=no assumption where routing is concerned.

Again, no need for a proposal to do that. Just go ahead and open
feature requests if they don't exist already.
