If I understand correctly you're saying that the combination of a "bicycle=no" & "bicycle:use_cycleway=yes" could mean the same thing as the proposed tag. I think it could but I'm not realy in favour of this. The main reason is that I prefer a "bicycle=" tag so there are no contradicting options possible and things get clear in just 1 tag. What if a road would be tagged with a "bicycle=yes" & "bicycle:use_cycleway=yes". What information would this give to a router? I don't understand what kind of problems routers/renderers whould have. Could you explain a little. Remember that most roads for which this new tag is introduced do not have a "bicycle= " tag yet.
