Maxspeed:type vs. maxspeed

If you take a look at taginfo, you will see that in most countries (except RO and RU) it is common to use maxspeed:type for context codes (like DE:urban, AT:zone30) and maxspeed only for numeric values. I would suggest changing the table in wiki page Key:maxspeed - OpenStreetMap Wiki in this way.

instead maxspeed or source:maxspeed in the table header → maxspeed:type or source:maxspeed

And instead:
it is more common and appropriate to provide a numeric value for maxspeed=* than to use the Context Specific Values (Default Limits) of source:maxspeed

it is more common and appropriate to provide a numeric value for maxspeed=* than to use the Context Specific Values (Default Limits) of maxspeed:type or source:maxspeed
