Yes, this is something that would require a proposal to introduce, it's 
not established practice at this point. The reason I mention it in this 
discussion is indeed that it would be one example where restriction and 
restriction:vehicle on the same relation could meaningfully coexist. So 
I wonder if a wording could be used that would leave this door open for 
the future, e.g. by discouraging "different types of restriction on the 
same relation" (or some better wording to the same effect).

No, with the exception of the "unrestricted" concept I mentioned, this 
should never be necessary. Even if there is an obscure real-world 
situation with different restrictions on the same turn (same 
from-via-to) for different vehicles, it could be modelled with separate 
relations.
