> Open issues as I see it include:
> 1) Replacing "lowered" with "ramp" or "dropped"
> 2) Replacing "raised" with "normal" and "bus"
> 3) Units for optional kerb:height

1) lowered is not the same as "ramp" or "dropped".
See here:

2) "raised" is not the same as "normal" (and normal might differ a lot
from place to place, I suggest to actually put the effective height)
3) Units in osm are as specified, if omitted will often be interpreted as meters
