I came to the opinion that a maxspeed tag didn't really capture a school zone, even with complex time restrictions.
Possibly it makes more sense to keep using restriction=school_zone but as others have pointed out, probably nothing reads these. I know some brands of car GPS devices can warn you about a school zone, but I don't think there are any that could get this from OSM. For now I preserve these tags if I am editing a way that has them, but I don't add them if they are not there already. - Ben Kelley.
