versus implying it to be oneway=no, there's *probably* a reduction in the amount of tagging needed, because there are probably more ways with motorway_link that are oneway=yes than oneway=no. In addition, for a routing application it increases safety. It's a lot worse to route someone

With all that discussion about implied onewayness could anyone please elaborate the advantage of tagging just highway=motorway opposed to highway=motorway oneway=yes besides it being one tag shorter? I think the second alternative is much more precise.
