Oh - the only thing could be if maxspeed=none is used in places where the limit is actually lower than 120.. AND if it's a motorway or in some countries a highway=trunk (cause on no higwhay=primary such a limit would be in general speaking drivable). So the question is - does this actually happen in the database? Are there countries where maxspeed=none is entered for roads where 100 is the real practical limit? In that case of course we would need a country list to set maxspeed=none to road_speed=6 or 5.

It does not matter whether it's unlimited, 200, 140 or 130... It all translates to road-speed=7 which is the highest level that we can give (which in itself is something like 115-130 depending on your GPS device/Basecamp/Mapsource). There is no real unlimited maxspeed in garmin maps (except for the new map format - which mkgmap cannot write anyhow).

I guess the trick is to figure out how to map the rules and other tags
to what speeds are reasonable to assume.  This seems like a place where
a tag that indicates typical speed would be useful; locals can set it to
what speeds most traffic is normally at, which is really what routing
wants to know.

But assuming unlimited motorways are 130 or 140 does not sound crazy to
me; uncongested Interstates in low-enforcement US states are like that.
