I just have a meeting with a "big" (well for Swiss scale) Public transport company. They want to tag and maintain (!) there lines in OSM. And they will obviously render the data. I was hesitating, but after our discussion here, I came to the conclusion that I will advise them to tag ONLY the new schema, and adapt there rendering accordingly. They more tagger/public transport companies will do the same, the more accepted the new tag will come.
