For me both schemes would be fine. I have no problem using "lower",
"upper" and "mid" even if the upper station is lower than some mid
stations. The definition from the wiki will then still explain how to
tag it and it's a rare case where the mapper probably will look for the
definition in the wiki. And your improvement regarding the defition
itself is absolutely correct. There's no need to state the fact that
it's the opposite end. So I'll give it a new try:
Definition:
aerialway:station=lower
for the station at the end of the aerialway with the lower altitude,
aerialway:station=upper
for the station at the end of the aerialway with the higher altitude,
aerialway:station=mid
for any station not being at the end of and aerialway.
Anyone who wants to improve or oppose to this definition?

Yes, I object to the specific values, as I (and others) said earlier.
The use of "base" and "head" is not intuitive and will lead to
confusion and errors amongst non-fluent English speakers. More basic
words like "top" and "bottom", or maybe "upper" and "lower", are
preferable.
You can/should remove the word "opposite" from the definition; this
will make it completely independent of the other definitions.

aerialway:station=base
for the station at an end of the aerialway with the lower altitude,
aerialway:station=head
for the station at the opposite end of the aerialway (hence with a
higher altitude) and
aerialway:station=mid
for any station not being at the end of and aerialway regardless of
the altitude.

Hi,
it was mentioned, we have many aerialways in Tyrol and there are
really cases where the mid station is the one with the highest altitude.
I found an example ("Schindlergratbahn", base 2035 m, mid 2643 m ,
head 2579 m, see link ). So i think, the second scheme with base,
mid, head could
be the better scheme.
