The main thing is that people often refer to "Talstation" and
"Bergstation" but this information is not machine-readeable but mostly
encoded in the names of the stations. My goal ist to make this
machine-readeable because it almost all cases people can refer to it
even if they do not know the station's name. It's obvious what's meant
in almost every case what I mean when I say "Bergstation Mutteralmbahn"
[1] even if the station's name doesn't say so [2]. So let's put this
into machine-readeable tags to enable applications to solve a problem
not for specialists but for the general map purpose we're building.
In my opinion we did have the right discussion and have a very good
proposed definition with easy values that people with a basic
understanding of english can understand. Do you agree?

It seems we can't even agree on what question to ask an "expert".
@dktue I think you started this discussion... What was your intention
at the time? Was it "how do we identify top/bottom stations on a cable
car"? If you ask an "expert" you might get an answer involving the
project numbers for the build phase, or the serial numbers of the
pylons. Let's stop looking for even more solutions until we have
clearly defined the problem. Otherwise you will end up with 100
different "solutions" and an argument about which is best. If it's
about tagging the stations as upper/mid/lower according to their
altitude and topological location, then we are there already; you
should prepare a tagging proposal and put it to the vote.
And bear in mind the values should ultimately be meaningful to a
normal person, not just to a ski lift engineer, and to people with
limited English (so using French/German/Italian nomenclature for
example would not be helpful).

Maybe (as always here) we are too few specialists on this list to
find the right values. I know of two forum funivie.org and
remontées-mécaniques.net that specialize in the field, but in Italian
and French. Does anybody know of a similar community, but English
speaking?
Maybe we could have good advice and get a few new mapper's on board.
