I'm one of the people who would like to add data about Public Tranportation. Since nobody likes to have to enter the same data several times, I can understand the need for a 'definitive' way to map PT in such a way that all downstream users (map rendereres, routers, etc) have the information they

I think I may have figured out what it is that the established tags can't do. If you've got a railway=tram with a series of nice neat (and well-established) railway=tram_stop nodes then you can only make that railway=tram_stop node a member of a route relation once. The oxomoa conclusion was to
