Agree, the transformer is just a feature of the pole. I wouldn't tag it 
as a substation.

According to 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Substation_refinement 
that is indeed how to do it. I see no problems in having an alternative 
tagging of the transformer since the power key is already used for the 
pole. For retrieval it is only slightly more complicated than just 
searching for power=transformer.
