In other words, you suggest that maxspeed should hold the speed limit that
applies, rather than 'what is on the ground'.

If such an approach is followed, could I suggest tagging 'maxspeed_sign=...'
as well as or instead of a source tag?  For example

    maxspeed=30mph
    maxspeed_sign=no

    maxspeed=30mph
    maxspeed_sign=30mph

Then both the 'tag what's on the ground' and 'tag what's most useful' camps 
could
have a way to record the information they want.  For more complex cases, such as
the presence or absence of street lights, a source:maxspeed tag might still
be needed.
