I have floated this idea out before (
https://osmus.slack.com/archives/CBK3JLUJU/p1561914872093800) as it is now
possible to create region specific iD presets. However, the whole crossing
tagging scheme is a mess currently and iD would like to wait until
proposals are completed to clean it up before messing with crossing presets.

The crossing=marked/unmarked tagging is inspired from a proposal I believe,
because there is ambiguity to the controlled/uncontrolled tagging whereas
there's an explicit obvious answer as to whether a crossing has markings or
not.
