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):
I would avoid retagging railway:station_category as
railway:station_category:de because there is no need to retag all
stations and halts and because there is no conflict to other tags.
*railway:station_importance=local*: The station has importance for a
few
surrounding villages and/or towns. Some regional trains may not even stop here.
(In Germany, this would typically correspond to Bahnhofskategorie 7-5, examples:
rural stops, suburbs, S-Bahn stations)
*railway:station_importance=regional*: A stop with higher importance, for
example a connecting station on a railway junction. At least all regional trains
stop here, maybe even some interregional trains. (typically Bahnhofskategorie
5-3, for example Kreiensen [0], Rothenburg [1], or Großheringen [2])

[2]: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/51.1059/11.6603
*railway:station_importance=interregional*: The station serves more than only
regional trains, it is commonly used to change for interregional and intercity
connections. The station is usually the most important one of several railway
stops in a city. (Bahnhofskategorie 3-2, for example Göttingen [3], Ulm Hbf [4])

[4]: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/48.4046/9.9726
*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 agree this system but I suggest to introduce two additional levels.
Not only train stations are tagged with railway=station. This tag is
also used for subway stations (often together with station=subway).
Almost a year ago I have been asked by Mentz DV if there is a
differentiation between minor and major tram stops. There is no one at
the moment (you have to count the route relations whose member the
stations is). That's why I suggest to extend this tag to every
station/halt where a railway-like vehicle stops.
*railway:station_importance=minor_urban*: The station is not served by
trains (i.e. only by subways, light rails and/or trams). Stations of
this importance are only few hundreds of metres apart from each other.
There is no change to other subway/light_rail/tram lines possible there.
Change to bus lines may be possible there.
Examples: Plieninger Straße in Stuttgart [5], August-Bebel-Straße in
Kalrsruhe [6]

[6] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/49.02436/8.37735&layers=T
*railway:station_importance=major_urban*: The station has importance for
a subway, light rail or tram transport system. The station is only few
hundreds of metres apart from the next station of this category or the
category minor_urban. There is change to other subway/light_rail/tram
lines and (optional) to buses and trains possible there.
Examples: Möhringen Bahnhof in Stuttgart [7], Neumarkt in Cologne [8]
[7] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/48.73078/9.14852&layers=T
[8] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/50.93609/6.94824&layers=T
*Other Examples*
Stuttgart Nord, aka Stuttgart Nordbahnhof would be "regional" because
the S-Bahn to Weil der Stadt, Bietigheim-Bissingen and Backnang stops
there. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/48.80352/9.19036&layers=T
Berlin Warschauer Straße would also be "regional" because Berlin S-Bahn
runs far out of Berlin (e.g. Strausberg Nord).
