???

You mentioned 'motion of one object relative to another' and that this 
is the topic under consideration.

I would agree and use the usual concept of velocity for this situation.

But you actually flatten me by stating, that direction plays no role.

NO!
'Speed' is the quantity an odometer measures.

This quantity is independent of direction.

> "-" is not a direction.

That depends...

'direction' is a geometrical term, which is usually associated with 
Euclidean space.

But other spaces are thinkable, where only two directions exist: '+' and 
'-'.
