It doesn't surprise me that something documented with certainty in the
wiki simply doesn't describe what mappers actually do. For example, I
I think in the case of traffic_calming
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_calming
the current wiki describes exactly what most
mappers do, that's why I asked the question you cited.
I think the only missing point is the explicit hint that
highway=traffic_calming should NOT be used and
removed when found similar to the hint for ford
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ford#Deprecated_Tags

Nobody oposed so I'll change the wiki as suggested
tomorrow.

I believe that the "highway=ford" text is "wrong" in that it does not
explain why "highway=ford" on a node should not be used. It also
doesn't explain the good reasons why "highway=ford" shouldn't be used on
a way (because it removes the chance for an informative highway type to
be used).
The wiki gets it wrong when it "tells people how to map". It gets it
right when it "describes how people map" and (even better) explains why.
