"Redundant" is perhaps not the best way to describe the problem. I'd go about
this like this:
A "highway=footway" is a footway, a "public_transport=platform" is a bus stop
(platform). These are simply two different things. They *share* certain properties, for example,
they are accessible both by pedestrians, but that does not make a bus stop platform a footway.
Giving an extreme example: Paved brownfields and parking lots are not footways.
But following the argument of the iD developers, they probably should.
That's an excellent summary. I can think of a few railway platforms
that also form part of footpath routes, but must do not. Having an
editor automatically add "highway=footway" to all platforms devalues the
work of all those who've used the tag explicitly in the past.
