I agree, no issue with that

> But in places that have both a highway=platform and a highway=bus_stop, dual tagging both with public_transport=platform is wrong. The two should be merged into only a single way/area with public_transport=platform. The problem then is that you can't really dual tag that anymore, because the highway=platform and highway=bus_stop tags are in direct conflict and can't be tagged on the same object.

the best way to handle this with PTv2 and still have something render
is to have highway=platform public_transport=platform on the way
and move the highway=bus_stop public_transport=stop_position on a node
part of the road.
with this, you have only one plateform, one stop_position and no render 
issue.

> Implementing public_transport=platform rendering purely as a 1:1 replacement of highway/railway=platform, without properly supporting it as a replacement of bus_stop, tram_stop, and so on is not going to fix that issue.

Render the most commun used public_transport=platform in stead of the 
old less common used highway=platform is still a improvement I thing.
it 'll not solve the whole mess, but it's a first good/easy step.
