it is almost equally popular, 453k of crossing=zebra vs. 461k of the combination you favor.

Frankly, I prefer a simple single tag instead of 2 for the usual crossing case I encounter all the time, the crossing:markings subtag could still be useful for particular situations, but I think having it implied by a simple crossing=zebra is easier. Also, I dislike the „uncontrolled“ term because I think it is counter intuitive for a crossing that is controlled by crossing markings and often traffic signs
