It can apply to fluid flow and it can apply to valves controlling fluid flow. It can apply to mechanical devices such as ratchets. As it happens, in OSM, we have only widely used it for motorized vehicular traffic even though it can apply to other non-motorized vehicular traffic (horse and cart, bicycle) and to pedestrians. We've now realized that other modes of transport can also be oneway independent of vehicular traffic along the same way. I see no problem in having foot:oneway (or oneway:foot) because they are not textually the same as "oneway" whilst retaining "oneway" as implicitly meaning "car:oneway." It might be nice to have an explicit car:oneway and then use oneway to mean all modes of transport are oneway, but it's too late to make that change (and it may be the case that although different modes of transport are all oneway, some are oneway in the opposite direction to others). I think you're being overly-pedantic and insufficiently contemplative on this. -- Paul
