+1. I didn't want to open a discussion how to distinguish
railway=subway from railway=rail, which are both well established and
usually legally well defined tags (@Frederik: in Germany subways
(U-Bahn) are legally indeed trams which must never cross streets at
the same level). The proposal was to tag the points/areas of the
stations with different tags, according to the kind of rail system it
is on.

cheers,
Martin
