There is a nice diagram of how to map a simple station
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dstation#A_Simple_Railway_Station
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dstation#A_Simple_Railway_Station>
I believe this diagram is completely wrong regarding the station area
and landuse. I suggest to remove or improve it.
The landuse=railway is not ending at the station boundaries [1]. The
area depicted as landuse=railway is actually the railway=station area.
The user who made this diagram is the same who removed the area-icon
from the railway=station article, so it is not astonishing he used a
node only version in his diagram.

[1] "Use landuse
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse>=*railway* to
delineate areas of land owned or operated by railway companies
(commonly known as the /railway corridor/)."
I believe the error in the diagram to which you refer is that the purple
lines (signifying landuse=railway) should not be joined at either side
of the diagram but continue off as do the railway tracks.
There is a lot of reading on OSM public transport.
The bit on areas for stations is
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:public_transport%3Dstation
This would conflict with the use of railway=station as an area ...
The same tag could be used for all 'stations' (train, bus etc)???
So mapping the station area with the tag 'public_transport=station'
would make sense. And make it consistent. However OSM is full of
inconsistencies!!
I do note that public_transport=station has a status of 'approved' ...
yet railway=station has a status of 'in_use' ... not that I now set much
score by it .. anyone can set the stature to whatever they like .. and
they do.
