railway=stop was, I believe, around before PTv2 concept.

You're misunderstanding stop/stop_position which is used to indicate 
where individual services stop. There can be multiple 'stops' per 
'railway station'.

Bus/Tram stops should have the equivalent set up as railway stations - 
One node to represent the whole station ie railway=station & numerous 
nodes to represent every place a train stops ie railway=stop.
It would require creating new tags for bus/tram stops.
