Asking people to put on all roads the ten or twenty attributs making everyone happy like maxpeed, minspeed, averagespeed, recommended_speed, blind_in_one_eye_drivers_speed, width, noexit, maxheight is simply unrealistic, makes perhaps some lazy developers happy but is definitely not making mapping easy.

what is your point here? where did you read the I am a is_in supporter? I am not at all. and where did you read the let's put all available tags on all object? 
let the software … that's exactly what I said in different wording

read what others write and not more and not less.
