[Tagging] Maxspeed

[Colin Smale]

maxheight and maxwidth are indeed not advisory, but they are both still
only "legal" and have ":physical" subtags to indicate the actual
width/height of the obstruction. We won't be needing that for maxspeed I
think.

Maxspeed does not imply 'limit' by name. 

Perhaps we should have 

maxspeed:advisory=* and 
maxspeed:limit=* not by name, explicitely, but that's how we've been
using it since the very beginning. It will be really hard to change
that. We also have maxheight and maxwidth, I think it's obvious those
are hard limits, not advisory.
