What goes up must come down. What goes out must go in.

Vented valves in both directions. A simple spring loaded valve would only work in one direction. A spring loaded valve that worked in either direction would be hard to do.

Some people don't like water keys in the slides because they feel that the holes can create a problem with the sound if it's too near a "node". Or at least so I've been told.
