According to the wiki, railway=crossing is "a point where pedestrians may cross a railway", while railway=level_crossing is "where a road crosses a railway". But footways are also represented by highways, and so if one wants to know where pedestrians may cross a railway they can simply look at the tags on the intersecting way. So why do we have two separate tags for what is essentially the same thing (there are road crossings without gates and foot crossings with gates)?
For that matter, where a cycleway uses a sidewalk to cross a railway, would it correctly be crossing or level_crossing?
