Hey there, as I was illustrating the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxweight article with some example signs and notes about pitfalls, I noticed that the wiki says here that the weight *must always* be defined in metric units.
So, I also added a row in the examples table about the short tons to metric tons conversion. But now, I am wondering, if the claim "As per Map Features:Units, as of September 2014 only metric units of weight (metric tonnes or kilograms) are supported for this tag." is not a mistake. Because... 1. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features/Units mentions "st" (short tons) as a unit 2. there is also "mph" for speed limits 3. it seems that this rule would unnecessarily complicate the mapping in the United States Does anyone know anything about (a decision) that the weight may only be specified in metric? Or was there a misinformed wiki-fiddler at work?
