[Tagging] Feature proposal - RFC - gross weight

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi,

I agree that the meaning is correct (legally), but I think we need to try
and simplify the jargon in the one line summary section. How about:

maxgross_weight: All vehicles have a registered upper limit on their
allowable mass (when fully loaded). This is often known as the "Gross
Weight", and it is found in the vehicle documentation. This tag indicates
the maximum value that can use the way irrespective of whether the vehicle
is fully loaded or not.

Obviously, keep the legal meaning, but add this (or similar) for people who
just want a quick answer.

Rob
