Use of it, IMHO, doesn't really make sense at all any more, particularly
if you have imagery available, a conservative best guess plus a fixme
tag would seem to be much more useful.
I tend to agree, but would limit this to areas where you know more or
less the context (regions where you have been on the ground).
When mapping far from any place you have been to, it seems more
sustainable to not infer tags related to aerial imagery and your own
context, which might have little to do with the actual situation on
the ground. Adding suppositions coupled with fixme tags is not what we
generally recommend, and will only work in areas with good coverage of
active contributors on the ground.
Better less but reliable data, than more but with a significant amount
of serious errors.
A 'conservative best guess' would normal place the type of highway at a
lesser level (lower capability) than what it could actually be.
Any error that has a lesser level (lower capability) would not be
'serious' in a safety aspect.
Additional clues can be had from existing tagging of similar features in
the area. In this way the result will be consistent and can be readily
interpreted by the user.
Most people when faced with things outside their range of knowledge will
take a very conservative approach to assessing capabilities.

suppositions: a belief held without proof or certain knowledge; an
assumption or hypothesis.
As the assessment would be made with an image .. and that image can be
taken as proof the use of the word 'suppositions' is incorrect.
