(sorry Steve for sending this twice to you, wanted to write this to 
mkgmap list and not you personally only.)

Just to bring this up again.

I played around a bit with sample maps where I created ways in osm data 
being oneway on top of each other (having all nodes connected to each 
other) and then making them inverse one way roads, or one road oneway 
and the other not oneway with different speed_class and road_class.

This gives really good (realistic) results.

It would be trully great if the multiple_elements_patch could be 
extended maybe to allow one to do this. This way one could have slower 
opposite cycleways or ways slower on uphill than downhill. For opposite 
cycleways going against the direction of traffic often is really 
dangerous and one has to ride slower - so having the opposite cycleways 
slower would make better routing. Same for very steep ways (e.g. 
incline>20; incline<-20 ).

As well it would be great if the multiple lines patch would allow for 
differently named ways, currently the first way with a name, sets the 
name for all following using [continue...]
For convenience I have attached the multiple_elements patch again. More 
or less there would be a need to do the same as the opposite cycleways 
option is doing (styledconverter.java) but based on the style-file.
