[Tagging] Is the difference between power station and sub station clear?

[François Lacombe]

Hi.

I found that proposal, which was converted in RFC and finally accepted by
voting.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Power_generation_refinement#Single-site_facitilies

It's clearly written there's a spelling problem around substation vs sub
station.
In fact, power=substation seems to be better than power=sub_station since a
sub station is a sub marine facility.

Should we take care of that?
