Data users can do with the data what they think it is best. Also Mappers 
can map what they think it is best. If this is congruent is another 
question.

I guess you will never map a stop_position. Other mappers want to map a 
stop_position. At the moment they abuse highway=bus_stop as 
stop_position. There is no (approved/rendered) alternative.

I think you agree that this is not an optimal solution.

What do you suggest these mappers to use for as stop_position?
