I would define it as:
lower_station: station that has the lowest elevation (exact
elevation is not necessary to know, it's obvious)
upper_station: station that has the highest elevation
mid_station: any other station
I want to add: At least in Germany, Switzerland and Austria there are
well-established german words which you often find in the name of the
stations themselves:
* "Talstation" ("valley station")
* "Bergstation" ("mountain station"), sometimes also "Gipfelstation"
("summit station")
* "Mittelstation" ("mid station")
There should be a machine-readeably tagging to get this information
that is so often encoded in the name. That's why I'm suggesting this
tagging.
Then why not valley / mid / mountain as values ? If the mountain
station is lower than the mid- one, there is no discussion.
I think the germany word "Talstation" ("valley station") is not flawless
as a Talstation might not be in the valley but in the middle of the
mountain. I think in the german language "Talstation" refers to the
lowest station of an aerialway. That's why I think lower/mid/upper are
better suited.
But also, my feeling is that it's more defined by the destination of
the stop rather than a property of the aerialway node in question: you
expect maybe a restaurant in the 'mountain station', more rarely in
the 'valley station', you also expect to put your skis on or start
riding your bike in the former, etc ...
There is more to a 'mountina station' than being up/down.
That true but I think there are different tags to add this information.
