from what I've understood form the wiki, /kerb/ is more related to the 
intersection and, /per se/, it doesn't necessarily have an incline, but 
it can have a null (flush), minor (lowered) or high (raised) step. If we 
map an inclined segment as a way (and not as a node), the kerb should be 
assigned to one of its nodes, shouldn't it?

When the incliined segment leads to a crossing I'm ok with using 
kerb=lowered. I usually have problems when there are two consecutive 
short ramps along a sidewalk.
