I think this will only serve to confuse, no where on the maxheight wiki link you provided does it say it's a legal restriction, if anything it's exactly the same thing you're just giving people the option of picking tags so half the system will have maxheight used, and half will have clearance and the routing software will end up with twice the work for no benefit.
