Really, I'm no traveling salesman, but I lean towards defining routing 
classes for all the highway=* tags and add children to each of them for 
different situations (like surfaces, width, turns that cross the other 
lane, traffic lights etc) that add or subtract average speed or add 
penalty time (average speed penalties have no use on nodes like bollards 
or traffic calming).

But at this moment the elemstyles.xml file does way more then just 
defining the routing rules. I don't know if such a scheme could be 
feasible using the elemstyles.xml as it currently is.

I hope the Gosmore devs can give their opinion...
