There is no (common) restriction that limits the actual weight of
truck+trailer, thus it makes no sense to define maxweight as limit for
the complete train.
...
this one is for gross weight of vehicles _including_ trailers:

Yes, see second part of my posting you responded to.
But the example does not support your original idea of defining
maxweight (=*actual weight* restriction) for complete trains instead of
vehicles. It only supports it for gross_weight, but this was already
pointed out by me.
To focus back on the original topic:
What is your conclusion regarding the proposal and the tagging of these
restrictions?
The crucial part is to keep tagging simple. We cannot expect that
everyone knows the subtle legal differences (I didn't know them until I
have done my own investigation). A trade-off between pure road-sign
tagging (which makes interpretation difficult) and the meaning (which is
complex due to vehicle, trailers, weight types, etc) is required.
