But need should draw a line somewhere. I think we should declare
anyone trying to add:

speed=45ft 6 13/16in per second

as insane and we should not be expected to support it. Google does,
but we shouldn't expect every OSM user to be able to duplicate that
feat. (It's 50km/h in case you're wondering). At the very least can we
agree that it should be one (1) floating point number (no scientific
notation) with one (1) unit. That brings it back to something
feasable.

I'm also worried about people using gauges adding 5ft 5in somewhere,
we should at least require decimals.

Have a nice day,
