That segment of platform by the bus shelter is both a footway and a
platform. In many scenarios, the "platform" might be distinguished by
nothing but some paint on a curb - clearly it's just a part of the sidewalk
where a bus stops.

We shouldn't ask mappers to decide how platform-ie or footway-ie that
segment of infrastructure is and only choose one based on subjective
priorities: they should be able to clearly describe both simultaneously.

highway=platform effectively rules out highway=footway, hence the conflict.

I have never seen *=platform features consumed for any purpose other than
being a destination in routing software. Does anyone have examples of other
use cases?
