Been shot down already a year or two ago that I know of.

I still think defaults per administrative area/boundary with inverse 
hierarchical nesting (more local overrides less local) makes a lot of sense.

Example 1: The default speed limit assumption for a city take precedence over 
that of a state. And those for a state take precedence over that of a nation. 
Specific signed based tagging on a way is the "most local” of course and 
overrides any default based on administrative boundaries.

Example 2: Set default for “right turn on red after stop” to true for all U.S. 
But then set default for NYC to false. (However “right turn on red” tag 
semantics are eventually defined.
