100% agree with Nzara.
Important to have ONE point for station, and the mapper can better decide where this is then an algorithm.

This is the position, I usualy use for placing the railway=station node, definitly not on a track. The track carries nodes like public_transport=stop_position. Putting 'station' on a building or even a larger area leaves it to the renderer or any other data consumer to guess the center of the station from passenges view.
