[Tagging] RFC — Drop stop positions and platforms

[Ilya Zverev]

Hi everyone,

Seven years ago the Public Transport Proposal introduced, among many useful things, three tags:

	• public_transport=stop_position
	• public_transport=platform
	• public_transport=station

They duplicate existing mandatory tags to this day, and contribute the most to the compexity of mapping public transport infrastructure.

I propose to make them optional, and to continue using the common tags for marking (or not marking) stop positions, platforms and stations.

Please read and comment on the wiki:

(After you've read the proposal, there is a small FAQ on the discussion page, after a chat in IRC).
