So highway=footway + oneway=yes shouldn't need any other tags like oneway:foot. That works when only a single mode of transport is permitted. It may not work when more than one mode of transport is permitted. Or does the one-way on a one-way street apply to pedestrians as well as cars? Since we may need to be able to specify oneway to individual modes of transport when multiple modes of transport are permitted, it makes sense to do so in a consistent manner even when only one mode of transport is permitted.
I've always believed that the oneway key applies to all non-pedestrian traffic -- except on footway, path, steps, and pedestrian, where it applies to all traffic. And of course individual modes can be overridden with a oneway:*=* tag. It's not entirely consistent per se, but it's pretty simple and the preponderance of oneway=* tags on footways and oneway:foot=* tags on other highways tells me that many mappers understand and use this convention. To me, foot:backward=no seems like a awkward solution to a contrived problem. J
