  That was a question I had also, but looked at some places in Europe, 
as well as finding that some localities have the crossing "X" painted on 
some of the intersecting streets with trams.

   I'll agree that it is of limited usefulness compared to normal rail 
crossings, and as well the OSM model of "street as centerline" doesn't 
model the actual crossing well in some cases.

   In the US, I had already removed the remaining tram / light rail 
crossing tasks from the MapRoulette rail crossing several weeks ago 
because the remaining intersections seemed to be edge cases.
