Definitely a necessity.

Naw, D&D doesn't do this. Not unless it's a
very unusual race (I'm sure there's at least one out there). Why should an Elven wizard be able to navigate a forest faster than a Human ranger simply for being Elven? Come to think of it, where would you intend for humans to get a speed bonus? And don't say cities.
Personally, I prefer having that sort of thing handled by class and skill, not by race.
I like the idea of getting racial speed added to the game. Brar's suggestion of having it be a modifier on stamina use means that the current movement speeds won't need to be wiped out to implement it, which I think is a plus. If this idea is also applied to the movement spells, this could go a long ways towards balancing Air Walk, and perhaps finally boosting Wind Walk to the amazing spell it's supposed to be.
