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?

Yes, I agree, provided the values are "top/bottom" or "upper/lower" and not "head/base". Even "mountain/valley" could be problematic as it depends on the geography and not simply on the geometry (an end-station half-way up the mountain, what is that?). The distinction is purely about the altitude of the end-station relative to the other, not about whether it is surrounded by shops or rocks.

This will enable a user to select all top-stations for example, or to label the stations on a given cableway appropriately.

Well then I will put this into the wiki, ok? :-)
