Sorry .. I have not made that clear ..
The default speed limit for motorways on OSM in, say, Australia would be
taking regionally, while that for USA would be different and taken for that
region?
See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Maxspeed ?

Please note that speed limits are _not_ interpreted by regions.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed states that the unit
has to be added explicitly when it’s not km/h – independent of the
region where you are mapping.
Region-dependent interpretation of units is IMHO a quite bad idea.

How it's entered into the database, and how it's displayed, are two
separate things. Humans are messy. Unless the API starts validating
entries, entries will vary in format, even if we officially say that "46 C"
is the official format. But software can parse and normalize numbers.
That said: temperature=___ is a problematic tag regardless of the
formatting of the data.
