I do value the time and efforts editors' authors invested, and I believe
everyone does.

I agree.
Will currently discussed proposal be approved or disapproved, wiki should be
cleaned up. Obvoiusly, before cleanup the preferred tagging way should be 
defined.

Happy you.
I agree that the proposed scheme isn't very easy to map without designated
tools; nor established scheme is. Additionally, there's no single established
scheme, but lots of variations (in one km distance around me I see bus_stops on
the way, bus_stops beside the way, single bus stop on the way put between two
actual stops in forward and backward directions, highway=platform points beside
the way combined with bus_stops on the way and, finally, `site' relations). 

If you have another proposal, please come up. I personally do not have any
sentimental feelings for the proposed scheme, I just believe it's better than
the current situation.
