Ok, I see your point now. I'm not sure that we need another api for that.
First, we need a good documentation on the wiki. Then one solution is to
parse the wiki tables (there is an attempt for the maxspeed). Another one
would be to identify the defaults inside the boundary with additional tags
in the relation representing that boundary (e.g. in the  country or state
administrative boundary relation, add a secondary:maxspeed=90, etc).
