[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - crossing:markings

[Alexander Kane]

If it is used in Italy to describe pavement markings (and only the pavement
markings) then I see no reason that these should not be retagged to
crossing:markings=zebra over time.

On the other hand, if Italy has a standardized "zebra crossing" (similar to
how I described for the UK) then whatever this means in Italy should be
documented on the wiki (signage, priority, etc.).
