Anyway, before the OSM community considers accepting this information, it has a
quite reasonable expectation that JOSM should fully support cardinal directions
so people can work with them. I'm just trying to figure out exactly what that
support would entail so I can implement it.
Usually, it is the other way round: JOSM supports those features and
mapping techniques that are commonly used by the mappers.
In my impression, north/south/… is quite different from
forward/backward. Most of JOSM's handling of the roles forward/backward
related to determining in which way those ways are traversed by the
specific bus/train/* routes, and sorting the relation members
accordingly. These aspects seem trivial to me for north/south/… since
all relation members are oneways and only traversed in that direction.
Btw: the newer public transport scheme basically deprecated
forward/backward in favour of separate relations per direction. How does
the US highway mapping relate to this scheme?
Cheers,
Simon
