We in Russia have created several routes using this schema. For example, http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/407276 There was a large discussion on public transport in our forum, and by now every participant of that discussion has stated their approval for this proposal. > 3.

"Old" PT schema is still supported with this proposal. A beginner can map just routes and public transport stops, like before, and it still would work. Only the tagging have been changed: various bus_stop, platform were replaced by a single public_transport=platform. Now discussions like "Where to place highway=bus_stop nodes" have become irrelevant: the new schema is very clear on this. So I think that "intermediate mappers" (?) will learn the proposed PT schema faster and will make less errors, than with the "old" one.
