I've been generally ignoring this thread, but did spot the handy summary from
Jarek.

I do not use the (documented as optional last time I looked) stop_position
nodes. The (UK based) opendata I use for maintaining local bus routes[1][2] is
based on a dataset which includes the latitude and longitude of the stop nodes
(I add both highway=bus_stop and public_transport=platform to such nodes), and
the routes data which contains ordered lists of the stop nodes based on their
reference in the stops dataset. Recently someone "broke" one of the relations
by removing the stop/platform nodes and adding stop_position ones instead. I
did leave those stop_position nodes when I added the platform nodes back, but
ignore them in my validation.
