I'd say that country-specific guidelines are worthwhile, so long as they are helping mappers converge on global standards. For example, I think you'd support country-specific guidelines similar to "In France, tag Autoroutes as highway=motorway. In Germany, tag Autobahns as highway=motorway. In the UK, tag Motorways as highway=motorway" and so on. You're mistaking "country-specific guidelines" with "country-specific tagging".
