If you tag differently urban roads and rural roads, where is the difference between using two "highway" values or simply two "maxspeed" values on the same "highway" ? Btw, I never understood why the "maxspeed=<countrycode>:<zone type>" was not simply a "maxspeed=<zone type>" since OSM is a spatial db and knows in which country the way is.
