Thanks for that last point, Christian. Always good to read the
documentation! The English version (emphasis mine) reads:

These 'traditional' tags are still widely used and are not invalidated by
this scheme and ***should be kept*** in order to ensure compatibility with
legacy software, at the price of redundancy.

If the goal is not to break legacy software, then these legacy tags
"should" also be added going forward, no? So it's not just a case of
co-existing like in forever, but also tagging using v1 and v2 like in
forever. Consider Polyglot's point about tagging bus stops with
highway=bus_stop+public_transport=platform+bus=yes, which in fact is what
ID now does automatically. So we can expect this to be the norm.

Since "highway=bus_stop" is wrong when the platform is a way, it's
necessary to have at least one node tagged (either on the way or possibly
inside it if it's an area) with v1 information. Which is exactly what I
have been doing with bus platforms that have been mapped as ways. And only
including the node in the relation(s).

In general I have not been including the stop positions in the relations,
although I have been including stop positions for the terminal points. Upon
reflection and after reading this discussion, I think it's best just to
include the platforms in the relations, with the terminal points being
marked with the appropriate role (platform_exit_only or
platform_entry_only).
