GTFS covers Oxomoa's extended form of tagging a stop area as well:
stops.txt contains an optional location_type where the value "1" would 
represent a public_transport=stop_area:
0 or blank - Stop. A location where passengers board or disembark from a 
transit vehicle.
1 - Station. A physical structure or area that contains one or more stop.

In most cases the stop positions in both directions will have different 
locations and thus different stop_lat and stop_lon in GTFS as well. So 
we are already "easily compatible".
