[Talk-transit] Naptan import stop tagging (was: Proposed changes to oxomoa schema [part 2: stops])

[Claudius Henrichs]

One question on the Naptan import: Did you use any tags from the 
public_transport therefore? Or are these all highway=bus_stop?
Would be a great chance to increase coverage of the more detailed 
public_transport=platform
