I'd go about this like this:<br>
<br>
A "highway=footway" is a footway, a "public_transport=platform" is a bus stop (platform). These are simply two different things. They *share* certain properties, for example, they are accessible both by pedestrians, but that does not make a bus stop platform a footway.<br>
Giving an extreme example: Paved brownfields and parking lots are not footways. But following the argument of the iD developers, they probably should.<br>
