I'd argue that it doesn't make sense, in that if you allow both maxspeed:mph and maxspeed as valid tags, a way may end up tagged with both showing contradictory speed information. It makes more sense to have maxspeed=<number><optional units; assume km/h if none specified> to avoid the chance of that happening. It does make sense for other situations, such as if opposite directions have different limits (e.g. maxspeed:opposite=<number><optional units>), or if different vehicle types have different limits (e.g. maxspeed:psv=<number><optional units>) as these clearly can't lead to contradictory information (assuming that if a vehicle type is specified it overrides any other maxspeed tags).
