Doesn't GTFSsuggest one location for one unique stop name, whereas we want each physical location belonging to a name as a separate point? (this does not suggest incompatibility, just an overlay on GTFS)

GTFS covers Oxomoa's extended form of tagging a stop area as well:
stops.txt contains an optional location_type where the value "1" would represent a public_transport=stop_area: 0 or blank - Stop. A location where passengers board or disembark from a transit vehicle.
1 - Station. A physical structure or area that contains one or more stop.

In most cases the stop positions in both directions will have different locations and thus different stop_lat and stop_lon in GTFS as well. So we are already "easily compatible".
