I'm struggling to see how asking for other's opinions could be regarded 
as bullying. I'm endeavouring to make the OSM database as accurate as 
possible. When I see edits that make it worse I will query it. That's 
not bullying,

Reverting will reinsert the highway=crossing to all tags in one go.

That's the same as asking on Talk-gb for users to check which, I 
suspect, will have a higher hit rate.
