I had seen the same sentence and wrestled with it as well.
Concider the central station of Amsterdam, which has one (soon: two)
subway stations with 2 platforms each, a bus station with 10-is platforms,
another bus station with 7 platforms, two tram stations  with 4-5
platforms each, and a ferry terminal with 5ish ferry slips, and off course
12 train platforms (with a/b/c sections meaning about 30-ish stop
position/platform combinations)

What I would do is make a stop area for each "substation" (for one mode)
then make a general stop area which contains only stop areas and maybe one
main station node. This gives warnings from the JOSM validator, as a
stop_area isn't an accepted member of a stop_area.
