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 think, we should retag, too. 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. Perhaphs something like category_range=1-7 would help (to set the margins). If not, I would favour "railway:station_category:*de*". It is a tag majorly in use in Germany, so the retagging discussion would not be too big.
The problem is not the key, the problem is the value. Having a tag that will be used only in one country is IMHO nonsense. Just stick with railway:station_category and change the values to de:1 or even de-DB:1. That's what we do for signals anyway.
