I've always assumed motorway_link joined a motorway with something less than a motorway. Perhaps this is jurisdiction-specific, though. Where I've lived, the offramp of a highway is under the jurisdiction of the highway (offramp of a state highway is policed by state troopers, not county police). So an offramp of a motorway would be, I'd assume, a motorway_link (if not motorway), not a primary_link. In fact, if I hadn't seen that there was a such thing as motorway_link, I'd probably tag them as motorway. If this is something which is opposite in other jurisdictions, that definitely would be a consideration we'd need to address. Of course, highway=* tags are already jurisdiction-specific.
