[Tagging] [Power] sub_station vs substation

[Ole Nielsen]

you'll need to be a bit patient. As long as the main mapnik map and the 
major editors don't support the new tag there won't be a quick switch to 
the new tag. The old sub_station tag (100000 uses) will continue to 
exist for a very long time and renders should keep supporting it. At 
least the count for power=station seems to be decreasing now (somebody 
retagging?).
