As you correctly say, both these solutions are horrible (especially if you think further and come to "cycleway:left:distance_from_road=5m" and all that). In an ideal world, I'd say let us have extra ways for everything, and some kind of linkage (relations or anything) between them. A renderer could then leave out road-adjacent cycleways if so desired, and an editor could move them together with the road they're linked to. For now, I would advocate extra ways whereever the cycleway is not just a lane painted on the road, and editors might become smart enough to detect a bordering cycleway and move that together with the road if you move the road or so. > But my main point stays that putting everything into that one way-object > makes > it much too hard to see what is tagged as what during the editing phase, > resulting in numerous errors. I think it would not be impossible to improve editors to the point where they could work with your above examples, but that would not reduce their horribleness.
