Yes of course. I set FIXME=please check flow direction if I am unsure
(usually you can deduct the flow direction but there is rare cases where it
is not possible). I have never come across a waterway with changing flow
direction, but I don't exclude that this does exist, so the suggested
directional / flow tag could have a benefit for these. Another solution
would be to not consider these cases part of {river, stream, canal, drain,
ditch}, but rather invent another tag for them.
