OK, I should have been more careful in what I said. When I said "no-one has genuinely suggested", I mean that no-one has put forward a proposal which has received significant levels of support. But having said that, some of the examples you list above are actually positive pieces of information, not denotations of a positive lack. e.g. maxspeed=no is the same as maxspeed=infinite drinkable=no is the same as undrinkable=yes oneway=no might be useful in the very rare case that mappers for some reason keep marking a road as oneway, but it's actually not! But I'd expect a note= to be more appropriate. Other than that, I agree it and noexit=no seem pointless.
