Hi, I wrote something about it here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Polyglot/diary/28401 It's written as a reaction to how the stops are mapped in Germany. The way I see it, the nodes next to the ways are the more important ones, so they are the ones that get added to the route relations and they are the ones with all the details. It's my impression that in Germany the stop posiiton nodes (which are part of the highways) get all the details. Or sometimes both the platforms and the stop_positions, which I tried to avoid for simplicity (of maintenance). Anyway, I created a MapCSS style for visualising it more clearly and several scripts, but they are most useful if the data of the operators is available. I also requested an improvement to JOSM. In expert mode, it's now possible to sort the ways from 'this point forward'. (so leaving alone all the members above). There is one thing I do differently now compared to the period I recorded those videos. All the platform nodes now go first, then the ways in the order the bus or tram travels along them. If the bus passes the same stretch of road twice, it will be in the route relation twice, showing up red. This doesn't happen very often for trams, but it's a lot more frequent for buses than one would expect.
