I have just read on WeeklyOSM that OpenRailwayMap may start to use
importance=* tag for ranking railway stations instead of
railway:station_category=* :
http://lists.openrailwaymap.org/archives/openrailwaymap/2016-March/000408.html
The proposition is 7 years old:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/Importance
and is quite generic. I think it would help for example with rendering
airports without resorting to less clear properties like size:
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1734
and it would be good to have universal scheme instead of
railway:station_category=* or flights_range=*. Looks like it is being
already used and quite popular:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/importance
What do you think about making this scheme official?
