+  Order the nodes of a way in reverse order and reverse any direction dependent tags
+  other than `oneway`. (We assume that correcting a backwards oneway is the primary
+  reason for reversing a way.)
+
+  The following transforms are performed:
+
+    Keys:
+          *:right=* ⟺ *:left=*
+        *:forward=* ⟺ *:backward=*
+       direction=up ⟺ direction=down
+         incline=up ⟺ incline=down
+            *=right ⟺ *=left
+
+    Relation members:
+       role=forward ⟺ role=backward
+
+   In addition, numeric-valued `incline` tags are negated.
+
+   The JOSM implementation was used as a guide, but transformations that were of unclear benefit
+   or adjusted tags that don't seem to be used in practice were omitted.
