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

[François Lacombe]

That's what I asked for earlier today but:

- power=substation doesn't even exist.
- power=sub_station is widely used without any chance to get in confusion
with a "submarine station".

I'm a little bit disapointed with such a topic.

If we had to create a brand new tag like power=substation, we would
deprecate power=sub_station too and redirect users the same way as the rest
of old values.

Does it really worth that kind of hard work?
