    Forward is the direction of the way. If a way carries both
    directions of the route, it gets no role (as with directional roles).


I'm a little slow here; forward means the route follows the direction of
the way (order of nodes), so for dual carriageways if the ways are in:
* opposite directions: they would both have oneway=yes and both use the
forward role?
* same direction: one would have oneway=yes and the forward role, the
other with oneway=-1 and the backward role? I find it a little confusing...

Yes. This is the standard for bus and bike routes, as well as highway routes in most countries. JOSM makes it easy to sort a relation this way.
