But if applications can cope with only having an unordered relation
and bus stop pole nodes (or indeed just tram_stop centroids), then why
clutter the map with lots more tags and info that the applications can
perfectly well derive for themselves 99.9% of the time? You should
only supply the extra info for the 0.1% of the time when it can't
readily be derived.
