As far as I see you proposed the same tagging for your proposal,
"type=area" for the relation, why so generic if the scope is reduced to
area steps? You are also including the same proposed roles and concepts for
the stairmodelling, "upper" and "lower". The main difference to the
original area relation proposal is that you didn't add the other
applications, like defining implicit or adding explicit barrier features
and punctual exceptions to these barriers.

it would be in the tradition of pedestrian routing around the squares, now
also around steps ;-)
Seriously, I would not tag any of these with highway=steps, I would rather
draw another way for the routing, in the middle of the laterals (actually
the laterals may often not be needed at all, if they are just straight
lines between the upper and lower start and endpoints. They might be needed
for topology reasons if you want to connect other things explicitly, e.g.
retaining walls, buildings, etc.).

Cheers,
