Hi! I've found some places of worship tagged with the undocumented "sym=church" tag. It appears to be added from some old software, since the"name" tag in the same element is truncated to eight characters. It's surprising to see how these places are being rendered as churches despite of this tag

The whole point of wanting to move to a simpler tagging scheme is to become able to write simple to understand documentation. Dropping the "v1" tags that some like to call 'deprecated' is not possible, because then your stops don't render. Replacing highway=bus_stop by public_transport=platform
