Ugh, this isn't about pissing off people, this is about importing data, and 
importing data has to follow a set of guidelines: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines


And that said, I don't think we should add nodes to the database which are at 
some random point near a zone 30 (like the one in Brussels spanning a few 
square kilometers...). But at the very least you'll have to check each node to 
see if it's already mapped on the road.

But I have a problem with this: if some application wants to use the data, the 
maxspeed has to be mapped on the road anyway, which requires local survey of 
where the zone starts and ends. It can't make use of a node somewhere near the 
road. So this would in fact be mapping for the mapper...
