yes, it seems that maxspeed:source was used by some users for the same
purpose as source:maxspeed (also encouraged by an import/mass-tagging
in Australia, which rose the usage numbers in short time above the
200.000 but later disappeared with the license change). I really
didn't care at all (initially) whether we used source:maxspeed or
maxspeed:source (or yet another tag), but there was discussion about
this years ago on the tagging list and back then we agreed on
source:maxspeed with values like "sign", "IT:motorway", etc. and since
then used this tag. I don't want to change it now if there are not
very good reasons.


Please also note that tagging sources (and other metadata) to objects
is a generally disputed mapping style.

cheers,
Martin
