okay, got it.

Hmm, looks easy to me. The points file is used before the lines file,
so all nodes are converted before the ways are converted.
If I got that right, we have to check all nodes of oneway roads
for the fixme tag? This would just mean to move the corresponding code 
from HighwayHooks to StyledConverter.
Do you agree?
