The downside I can see is the difficulty in rendering software being 
able to make use of the information given in the exact text.  The same 
information may be expressed quite differently in different locations.

It's potentially useful to caravaners to have a standard tag for roads 
best avoided.  There's quite a few roads across the country signposted 
as unsuitable for caravans, and there may be local variations, such as 
the inclusion or absence of the word "Road".  Or unsuitable between X and Y.

By all means include a signposted tag for clarity.  It's a good idea if 
we can standardize on it.
