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

I prefer the passengers view of a station or halt. If we will meet "at the
station" where are you expecting to find me? 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.
Cheers
