Sounds fair.

You wont gain anything by de-defining the "oneway=no" default value. Consumers 
(routers, renderers, whatever) will not be swayed by a wiki page. They might 
look at stats and decide themselves what the absence of a oneway tag means, but 
a wiki proposal is never going to influence that decision.

That's a very bad idea. Routers implementing it would skip a motorway exit (and 
lenghten the trip greatly) because of a missing tag. I'd much rather get to the 
exchange, see that the router is suggesting a link i cannot take, and drive 
around to find a nearby link I can use. Still frustrating but less time wasted.

And *that* is the actually usefull thing to do, instead of the proposal. File a 
bug to the major editors and QA tools suggesting to flag motorway links without 
a oneway tag as an warning.

Even better: if the software has the means to do it, flag that warning for any 
object having tag foo but not tag bar, if 95% of foo tags in the db are 
accompanied by a bar tag.
