It occurs to me that some people will want the maxspeed tag to override
the speed code in the rules file (obviously, the person who wrote that
code thought it was a good idea) but others, like Marco, would prefer
not to have that feature. So, I guess, we need (yet another) option to
control this behaviour. I attach a patch that does, essentially, the
same thing as your patch with the addition that you can switch that
behaviour on and off.

Cheers,

Mark
