    The maxheight=* tag maps the physical limitation, not the sign (which
    can be absent or even wrong). Tagging maxheight=none really makes no
    sense.



no, the maxheight tag maps the legal restriction (typically derived from a sign, in absence of a sign might be implied by other legal provisions). For physical restrictions use maxheight:physical (in some countries this is even signed). For the actual clearance height we could still use another tag like "height" (maybe better not, as this would IMO imply the height of the road, i.e. from the surface downwards) or more explicitly "clearance_height".
in the US, the default behavior is that the signed max height has a couple of inches to spare. if there is no margin then it's considered an actual maxheight which naturally would map to

maxheight:actual

i have no idea what usage is in the UK
