Right, agreed, we should work out a scheme for dealing with this.  If we
can work that out, then, *awesome*, we can start working with data
consumers (like our implementation of reference, Osmand) about getting some
support for this on the consumer end, too.

Perhaps something like relation=default, where membership requirements are
similar to that of a multipolygon.  I'm entirely open to suggestion for how
to handle turns.  For speeds, could be something like maxspeed=25 mph (just
throwing that out there since a *lot, lot* of places in my state does
this).  Of course, any ways tagged with other values would override this.

I find it's less than productive for finding solutions to problems the wiki
is currently advising to leave unresolved (such as this), or ambiguous
(like primary vs trunk vs motorway in the US).
