Makes sense to me. Presumably the "station area" would be something we'd
have to guess from a survey and aerial photography, broadly encompassing
the buildings and platforms?

Is it then sufficient to include the station area/node and platform ways in
a stop_area relation?

It would then help if your fab transport layer rendered
building=railway_station a bit more prominently, and rendered
building=entrance nodes so people know where to enter large sprawling
stations.
