I just have a meeting with a "big" (well for Swiss scale) Public transport company. They want to tag and maintain (!) there lines in OSM. And they will obviously render the data.
I was hesitating, but after our discussion here, I came to the conclusion that I will advise them to tag ONLY the new schema, and adapt there rendering accordingly.
They more tagger/public transport companies will do the same, the more accepted the new tag will come.

OSM is frequently described as a do-ocracy - in which finished and coded solutions win out over what is needed.  And it's quite possible that we public transport mappers have been collecting and entering the information but have never gotten into CSS Map stylesheets, or whatever is the technology behind the renderers.
