Hi osmidal,

If I understand the wiki correctly, it is mostly cautioning against adding tactile_paving to large features where it is difficult to understand what this actually means. I don't think this reasoning fits well with railway platforms, even if they are mapped as areas – usually, there is a tactile strip along the platform edge, connected to the entrances/exits of the platform/station. It is therefore pretty clear what one can expect when a railway platform has tactile_paving=yes tagged. Adding tactile_paving=yes to the platform is still useful to data consumers, for instance, when one wants to know whether there is tactile paving at a particular platform. Though this information is also available in the micro-mapping approach where each tactile element is mapped as a separate feature, this way of mapping is much less common and more difficult for data users to understand correctly. I think it's great to have precise information in OSM (like the exact location of a tactile element), but its also important to keep in mind how the data can be understood and used by data consumers.
