This is very easy: it will not happen. This is neither a decision of you or 
me, this is just about 10 years too late to be of any chance. The existing 
terms "forward" and "backward" are used in OSM about everywhere for 
"in/against direction of OSM way". (Old style) public transport relations? 
Check. Tagging how many lanes an in which direction a given piece of highway 
has? Check. You get the idea. Inventing something new for railway tagging is 
just an invitation for another flamewar[1], so we will just stick with it.
