Shape of a table traffic calming be as a candidate for a proposal?

OSM lists a lot of traffic_calming nodes. These nodes sometimes contain the surface key. That still doesn’t help much to determine the intensity of the impact of the vertical deviation.

I see 4 main shapes:

  1. trapezoid = most common shape (including triangular)
  2. sinusoid = sinus shape (this shape has the lowest impact considering enough length, sinus shape did I only see where surface=asphalt)
  3. convex/spherical
  4. flat (painted_table, rumble_strip)

Especially for the table (and choked_table), it would be of value to know if its the sinusoid or the trapezoid shape applies. traffic_calming=table + shape=sinus => lower penalty.

What could be the response to a proposal of this kind?
