[Tagging] Default maxspeed unit on waterways

Hi, Currently, le wiki ([1]) suggests that maxspeed has to specify the unit knots when it's not km/h. But knot is the unit used worldwide on waterways. Why should we add something obvious on all waterway elements ? Could we suggest that the default unit for maxspeed on waterways is knot and the

In Belgium the maximum height for a vehicle is 4m (on all roads, whether there is a bridge or not). So without sign a bridge should allow vehicles under the maximum height to pass. There are exceptions, which requires a special permit (pubic transport). Then the maximum height is 4.4m meters. I
