Hi Garry,
did you check whether the current "electrified=rail" routes are 3rd rail
routes only? From my perspective I would like to deprecate the
"electrified=rail" tag and introduce a 3rd_rail tag even to avoid
confusions. A tag should be clear understandable. That the "rail" tag will
mean 3rd rail only may cause confusions.
Best, Eckhard

Eckhard,
It is all explained in our proposal at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/3rd_and_4th_rail -
electrified=rail is retained and the definition tightened so that it
explicitly means 3rd rail. This means that almost the whole worldwide
mapped network is unaffected - and the lines that are, I'm happy to retag
correctly.
And yes, we are keeping the separate top/bottom/side tag as it is
currently - we will need it for 4th rail as well!
Hope that clarifies, and hope you can support.
