This is what I have been thinking about for a while (for the purpose of bus stops): Make the prefixes "left:", "right:" special in the sense that when a way is reversed, they get swapped. So left:highway=bus_stop would become right:highway=bus_stop. (Uh, maybe this is awkward for the renderer implementation. Could be better to prefix the *value* instead: highway=left:bus_stop?) For rendering, a bidirectional stop would be a full circle on a way/route and a one-way stop would be a half-circle.
