I have mapped bus stops as a node next to the highway, and connected it with a service way, at least where there are a bay where the bus can stop next to the highway. This node could also be connected with a walkway or sidewalk way, though I havn't started with that detailed level of mapping yet as there still are a lot of unmapped territory in my area.
I havn't studied the public_transport scheme as I do very little mapping of that sort, though have in a few cases added public_transport=station to amenity=bus_station and railway=station As I said, I havn't studied the scheme, but if there is a way to map bus stops without the use of highway=bus_stop, than this should be clearly documented on the wiki and added to the most common renderers, and as long as there are plentifold of highway=bus_stop they should be rendered as well.
