There is no regional default if the units are not specified.
Not the default unit, but the default speed limit. Reference....

Sorry .. I have not made that clear ..
The default speed limit for motorways on OSM in, say, Australia
would be taking regionally, while that for USA would be different
and taken for that region?
See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Maxspeed ?

Please note that speed limits are _not_ interpreted by regions.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed states that
the unit
has to be added explicitly when it’s not km/h – independent of the
region where you are mapping.
Region-dependent interpretation of units is IMHO a quite bad idea.

How it's entered into the database, and how it's
displayed, are two
separate things. Humans are messy. Unless the API starts
validating
entries, entries will vary in format, even if we
officially say that "46 C"
is the official format. But software can parse and
normalize numbers.
That said: temperature=___ is a problematic tag regardless
of the
formatting of the data.
