Hence, in most cases the extra node on the way is what I call courtesy

can be automated. I would tend towards manual tagging only in those cases in
which heuristics are likely to produce incorrect or unpredictable results
(e.g. bus stop in the middle between two carriageways).
I agree - it's courtesy tagging, but since the node is already there,
it seems fairly harmless to tag it with something if/when people move
railway=tram_stop to a node beside the way. It doesn't introduce
complexity in the way that relations do.
There is already a tag for this: public_transport=stop_position. Used
27'000 times in OSM. And you are right, in many (but not all) cases it
is courtesy tagging. Therefore I have changed it in my proposal to optional.
I'm quite happy if people want to leave tram_stop on the track for the
moment. It's not ideal in terms of pedestrian routing, but that can
wait.
I do not think it is a good idea to redefine thousands of used
railway=tram_stop.
