Great - someone has now changed a bunch of "maxspeed=national" locally 
to me to to "maxspeed=60 mph".  Next I guess someone will come along and 
add 
"source:maxspeed=i_was_sat_in_my_armchair_and_it_seemed_like_a_good_idea" or 
similar?

We've lost the information that the sign is actually NOT a 60 mph sign.  
Something like method 2 above would have avoided losing information 
(although "GB:rural" is meaningless; if pushed, "GB:national" or some 
variant would be better).

Cheers,
Andy
