Could you please give some examples where the stop position can't be calculated from the waiting area? I'd also like to know for which use cases the stop positions are necessary. > Also, the stop_area is, in the Netherlands, a concept used to map all > stops "belonging" to each other together, for trhansit open data/transit > planners. e.g. all four stops around a junction will be one "stop_area" > (having one ref:IFOPT:NL:S:<number> reference), even when those four > stops will have different names (e.g. named in pairs after the side street). If stops share the same ref, there is no need for a stop_area, as they are already in a relation with each other by having the same ref.
