Many thanks for this. 1) How do you envisage the mapping of loops (ie (say) six stops on one-way loop at one end of the route). I guess the two directions could be combined, or an arbitrary break made at some point round the loop. I think you need to suggest either one or the other or say that both are acceptable as long as they are ordered. 2) I think you need to define some options for tram stops (including what tags are on the single node on the track), and have a straw poll. This morning I'm tending towards using railway=platform areas/ways as stops (which is more consistent with existing tagging, and solves Teddy's problem with trams and light_rail using the same platform).
