Please excuse the bad wording. I meant that even if platforms had the
same access restrictions as footways, they should not additionally be
tagged highway=footway, because this were redundant. But as platforms
often have different access restrictions (e.g. you cannot enter w/o a
ticket), adding highway=footway is conflicting.
