This is like saying Anyone can drive at whatever speed he wants, the
question is what we want to encourage. - ie, true, but fairly
meaningless.

But isn't that the case with lots of nodes? The place=city name=London
node, does it describe something that is the node itself, or rather
lend a name to all that is around it?
The node should be part of a relation/boundary describing the area

Ummm speed bumps aren't usually anything but in line with the road,
Exactly. Just like inclines.

Also, incline=* is still mathematically valid for nodes to indicate
the instantaneous incline at that point, so I don't see a problem with

I might be old, I might have gone to school in the Dark Ages, but a point

An incline is more or less a gradient. From Wikipedia: The gradient

Oh, the writer of Wikipedia point geometry agrees with me.

Come on Liz, you know that Wikipedia is one of those projects where any
nitwit can... ehm... ;-)

you'd better read better than that

While a road might be a pre-requisite for a speed bump I wouldn't say
that the road defines the speed bump.
The orientation of the road defines the orientation of the speed bump,
though.

Why?
Because it's not well defined. If you want to define

Ideally we'd have elevation tags on each node, and incline tags would then
become redundant.
You'd need a very fine grained elevation model for that to be the case. One
reason people want steep inclines marked is to determine

If you know the actual incline you can tag it with its value. If you

not worth that much anymore.
It is a subjective classification - not more
