[Tagging] Basic question about functional classification of highways

[Philip Barnes]

I disagree with just using a number, the tags are there to indicate that the mapper had interpreted the speed limit from the type of road.
Should the limits change they make finding the limits that require changes easier.
The number should be tagged, and I would not expect a data consumer to use maxspeed tags, they are useful for validation.

Both "maxspeed=<countrycode>:<zone type>" and "maxspeed=<zone type>" are evil, as we need to have a separate DB for those zonal limits. Please, just use maxspeed=<number>.
