It's much simpler to parse maxspeed=30mph than it is to work out which
one is correct when there's multiple maxspeed:[kph|mph]=30 tags, I'd
say. I'd try to avoid having two potentially conflicting ways of
tagging the same property.

Oh, and changing documentation on the wiki to promote the
least-prevalent method of tagging is bad form! The wiki should
(IMNotVeryHO) be there to document what's in the database, not promote
particular tagging schemes over one another.

Cheers,
Andy
