first of all, thank you for your courage (or naivety) to spend time on 
this problem.
So you are proposing an additional scheme, another layer on top
of the many existing variants?
I don't see the point, what is needed is to reduce the number of 
schemes, not to add more.

For the moment we have :
crossing=zebra in England which means crossing=uncontrolled (approved 
tag) + crossing_ref=zebra
crossing=zebra outside of England listed as a controversial iD decision 
and which according to contributors means crossing=uncontrolled 
crossing_ref=zebra or crossing_ref=zebra
crossing=marked controversial decision of iD which overwrites/loses the 
information of the 2 approved values crossing=traffic_signals <> 
crossing=uncontrolled, depending on contributors and preset versions 
this can imply crossing=uncontrolled or not (the french version of the 
iD preset has long spoken of "marking on the ground")
marking=zebra which could replace crossing_ref=zebra with a more 
meaningful name, but maybe not in all country (see other UK specific name)
and now yours which would not override any of the previous versions

imho the only good solution is to start by removing crossing=zebra and 
replace it in England (and other countries with the same traffic rules) 
by crossing=uncontrolled (approved tag) crossing_ref=zebra, and outside 
England by crossing_ref=zebra
when it will be eradicated, we will see more clearly

Marc
