One option that comes to my mind would be that you change the road
classification in Britain to use trunk only on those ways where it is
used in other parts of the world, regardless of the actual official
british classification. Could this find support in the British
community?
Quick answer: not a chance in hell of that finding support.
Long answer: I don't really see the need, to be honest. All road types
have to be interpreted with national defaults in mind for speed limits,
permitted access, what side you drive on, etc. The fact that UK trunk
roads are (on average) slower is just another one of these. And although
UK trunk roads might be slower than German ones, they're probably faster
than many of these: http://osm.org/go/wEupZG--
