Thanks for the time you spend on it.
But with an RFC that is more than a year old, it would no doubt have 
been interesting to launch a call for comments before the vote for last 
year's absentees.

As far as I'm concerned, while I'm very much in favour of deprecate 
crossing=zebra, for which I'd already found traces of proposed 
deprecations almost a decade ago, the proposal for change it into 
crossing:marking=zebra is unfortunately wrong (as was pointed out in 
vain when this key was proposed) because crossing:marking=zebra means 
that there is only one series of markingss, information which is not 
present in crossing=zebra (it could be zebra:double, zebra:paired,, 
zebra:bicolour, zebra:rainbow)

To solve this, the meaning of crossing:marking=zebra would have had to 
be one or more mandes and a new value crossing:marking=zebra:single 
would have had to be created for the current meaning.
But as you can't change the definition of a key used, that's it.
It would be a good idea that a suggested
fix is set to  crossing:marking=yes or the different 
crossing:markings=zebra* values if we check them one after the other.

and ideally suspend the vote, reissue the call for comments for this 
change and vote on the proposal so as not to validate a proposal because 
an error has been detected

Marc
