 What do you suggest these mappers to use for as stop_position?

If someone maps a single node on the way and calls it
highway=bus_stop, then that should be OK (but not recommended).

If someone then wants to put highway=bus_stop nodes on either side,
that should be seen as the more correct tagging. The original node
should be stripped of it's highway=bus_stop tag, or changed to
something meaningless like highway=bus_stop_group_centroid or
highway=bus_stop_position (if it genuinely is a stopping position,
rather than a group centroid).

unified_stoparea recommends that. You would allow but not recommend it, 
correct?

What about changing it to platform, if it is really the platform/pole?
