[OSM-talk] maxheight/height

[Aun Johnsen (via Webmail)]

maxheight=* refers to legal maxheight, in some countries, such as brazil,
there is a difference on legal height (restriction) and physical
height/clearance (information sign). See my note on the discussion on the
wiki key:height - if height is not to be used for this, than another tag is
needed
