<pre wrap="">I vote in favour for this idea to avoid a German viewpoint, and would like to
rename railway:station_category to railway:station_category:de for this case.
railway:station_category and railway:station_importance can thus be used in
parallel. For railway:station_importance, I propose something like the following
explanations (but I can only give examples for Germany, sorry):</pre>

I think, we should retag, too. <br>
The problem now is, that the values combine with Deutsche Bahn
category system; but perhaps any other railway company has only
categories from 1 to 6 or whatever.<br>
Perhaphs something like category_range=1-7 would help (to set the
margins). If not, I would favour "railway:station_category:<b>de</b>".
It is a tag majorly in use in Germany, so the retagging discussion
would not be too big.<br>

*railway:station_importance=international*: The station is a big hub in the
national railway system and serves long-distance connections to major national
or even international cities. It usually also provides access to an
international airport. (Bahnhofskategorie 2-1, examples: Frankfurt Hbf,
Frankfurt Flughafen, Berlin Hbf, München Hbf, Hannover Hbf)

I like this system with human-readdble values.<br>
My problem is <i>*=international</i>.<br>
I understand what you mean with the description. For people that
read wiki descriptions, it is quite clear.<br>
But I fear, that many people that are not such fanatic railway
mappers will just read this one word in the tag value
("international") and tag any station with any international service
with <i>railway:station_importance=international</i>.<br>
Suddenly, Bad Bentheim (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osm.org/go/0GYWO2k?m=">http://osm.org/go/0GYWO2k?m=</a>) and
Encarnacion in Paraguay
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Estaci%C3%B3n_Encarnaci%C3%B3n,_vista_desde_la_calle.JPG">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Estaci%C3%B3n_Encarnaci%C3%B3n,_vista_desde_la_calle.JPG</a>,
there is something like international commuter service) will receive
this tag, I am afraid. <br>
So, we have to find a tag for stations with international service
that don't really have an international importance. or avoid the "<i>international</i>"-value.<br>
