Yes. I would agree with "trunk doesn't necessarily have to be a
multi-lane road built to western motorway standards", but "trunk in one
region might be worse than service in another region" is somewhat
stretching the relativistic approach.
What is missing is a statement about whether one starts judging such
networks by importance from the top (trunk downwards) or from the
bottom (tertiary upwards).
As an aside, are there even any routing engines which by default will
use different standard speeds depending on country? Or do they all
assume you can go 80 km/h on a trunk road even if that trunk road
happens to be "worse than service in another region"? I know that at
least GraphHopper and OSRM have the capability of using different speeds
for different regions but AFAIK that isn't used by any of the default
profiles. Should the OSM community compile a list of sensible
assumptions of "this is how fast you'll go on average on type X highway
in country Y"?
