<tt>I think that it's quite hard for data consumers (again: think of
an overpass-query to find all mid-stations) to determine which
role a station has. Like Martin said: Why not just solve the
(huge!) special case of mountain aerialways where we really have
one bottom_station, zero or more mid_station and one
upper_station?</tt><br>

<p>So what is wrong with ele=* on the stations and the topography
of the line? Completely (for OSM purposes) objective and
uncontroversial. The data consumer/renderer can make their own
mind up about nomenclature. Many of these lifts go up to go
down, or go down to go up, as they cross ridges and valleys. One
man's incline on a segment of the route is another man's decline
based on the station altitudes. Let's tag the facts, and not
subjective naming.</p>

Alexey, you're right, anyway physical properties like
incline are better tagged on way than on relations.</blockquote>

and horizontal aerialways aren't completely unheard of either.
The incline solution works only for a subset of aerialways.
Generally, for horizontal aerialways top and bottom / valley
do not apply, i.e. the original question is directly related
to a specific (frequent) configuration: an aerialway which
surmounts a significant height difference. We do not have to
find a universal solution if the question relates only to this
special case.<br>
