Not sure about the best psv way of tagging, but the oneway case seems clear
to me.
oneway=yes is a very well established widely used and easy to understand
tag and should not be changed (i.e. removed/substituted) to something less
used, longer and more complicated (hyphen) like access:backward=no
This change might also introduce problems in certain jurisdictions (e.g. if
bicycle-access is generally granted in oneway streets and counterdirection
for streets with the oneway-sign, which is most likely not defined for
access:backward. Furthermore I'd expect the oneway=yes not to apply to
pedestrians while access:backward=no would IMHO apply to pedestrians.

cheers,
Martin
