I'm quite happy with lanes=n where n is an integer. I am very happy to assume that a one-way road without lanes=* has only one lane.
I am also happy to assume that a not-one-way road without lanes=* has two lanes (one in each direction). I am extremely happy to see a width=* tag that I can use in conjunction with the lane count (even if the lane count is assumed). It tells me the width of each lane. A lane count of 1.5 is very confusing. What does it mean? What is the width of each lane? Is it really 1.5? Should it be 1.55, or 1.4, or 1.6? It's more useful to tell me width of the road. Then, if there is one lane I can see maybe it's very wide, or if two lanes I can see maybe they are very narrow. It's okay to let me assume the number of lanes because the assumption is safe, and if it's really wrong then someone will tag it properly later. In summary, I think simpler is better. A non-integer lane count is useless. Use the width tag.
