[Talk-transit] Proposed changes to oxomoa schema [part 2: stops]

Oxomoa is suggesting bus stop on the way only for the most basic bus 
stop (think of a bus stop on a crossing on the country side with just a 
sign). If you have a more advanced bus stop with waiting positions for 
passengers on both sides of the street you add a 
public_transport=stop_position on the way *and* add a 
public_transport=platform node/way on the location you are proposing 
(e.g. "where they are"). This solution allows to fulfill the data 
requirements of routers you described.

> *ISSUE RAISED:
> * map bus stops to their physical location, not a point on the 
> route/street
> *
> Present status: If I understand correctly, oxomoa suggests that the 
> bus stop data (name, unique number, etc.) be entered as properties of 
> a point on the route/street.
>
> Problems :
> * Lines often have stops that are quite far apart for each direction
> * This prohibits proper routing (GPS + walking),
> * this system is not very intuitive I find.
>
> *Proposed change: bus stops to be mapped exactly to where they are, 
> and to be added to relations *
>
> Result:
> * better routing results e.g. one wants to find a correct way to the 
> bus stop, and not to the average point somewhere between two stops of 
> the same name in either direction.
> * more intuitive system -> easier "learning curve" for new users.
>
> Influence on possible future software solutions: minor. May require 
> all the stops on the route to be ordered based on their geographical 
> location, as opposed to their place on the route (the latter is easier).
>
> Comments: I have seen this system very often implemented - two bus 
> stops on each side, so my suggestion is just to codify the situation 
> for future editors.
>
> Hope this is not too much at once, for more is to follow.
