Hi Folks, As a relatively new OSM editor, I tend to agree with the explicit tagging rather than implicit - it should help folks learn tags much faster

Adding footway to the platform serves no purpose but to please poorly built routing engines.

Inviting other people to jump on the thread > just to express disagreement is not very helpful. While i really appreciate the work you and the other developers have put into iD, i find it demotivating and harmful that you refuse other opinions. > Some people will disagree, and that's ok. So far, everybody except you disagreed. If there is a clear majority, i expect the iD developers to follow it. Moreover, this validation rule infringes upon these policies or guidelines: * Automated Edits code of conduct (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct): You take advantage of mappers unconsciously adding highway=footway to platforms. This is an automated edit. * Map what's on the ground (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Map_what.27s_on_the_ground): A platform is not a footway. * Don't map for the renderer (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_map_for_the_renderer): It's rater "don't map for the router", but the effect is the same. > There exists no master list of all the routable features in OSM. This is > because people are always making up tags. It is unreasonable to expect > mappers and data consumers to "just know" what all the tags are that are > routable. If the problem is the lack of a list of all routable features in OSM, then it should be solved by creating such a list, not by mapping for the router. (By the way, routable tags aren't added very frequently.) I guess it should also be possible to create a "routable" property for Wikibase (data items). I kindly ask you to reconsider your decision, to not block opinions that differ from yours and to listen more to the community.
