I'm not able to create a new relation, it only shows the relation you
already created, or to add streetname tags.

 OK, I'm back. The example will be uploaded as soon as I'm happy with it.

This helped me a lot, thanks. I'm not a lot in that neighbourhood anymore,
but I will remember to take pictures of bus stops when I see one. And about
that wiki page, is it usefull to put this in the OSM wiki? I don't know
where it belongs.
