There's a proposal for using segmented tags to handle this kind of
situation:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Segmented_Tag

If I understand it right, this approach would require to write two
relations, one for the forward direction, and one for the reversed direction
(you could make the segment start and end at the outer nodes of the way, if
the speed limit applies to the whole length of the way).
