highway=platform and railway=platform on a WAY or an AREA are perfectly fine tags for such platforms, where they exist. Until about a year ago I was also adding public_transport=platform to these ways, but as it creates confusion with the platform NODES, which as far as I am concerned represent the bus and tram stops, I stopped doing that.
