Hi Phil

1) Even for newbies, common sense should tell you that railway=platforms 
are for the purpose of being walked on - it doesn't require a 
confirmation tag.

2) iD developers quincylvania & bhousel are *implying* when saying _all_ 
platforms should have this tag*:

"iD should add highway=footway automatically and recommend upgrading 
features lacking this tag."


* if a platform isn't accessible for some reason, an appropriate tag 
such as access=* or disused:* can be used
