If I see a road sign with a speed limit I add maxspeed=30mph, not restriction:speed=30mph or legal_constraint_on_speed=30mph. I don't agonise over the tag to use to label the plaque that describes the title of the street allocated by the council, I just add a name=* tag. All of this is listed on a single page in the wiki - it's even printed on a mug!
