Completely agree with all you said. Especially the last sentence is important: we need more geographical diversity and more people’s opinion and viewpoint on the tagging. I was hoping that this forum’s translate function would allow more non-English speakers to be included, but I’m still waiting for more of them. We can come up with a phenomenal system that works in Central Europe, UK and the US, but its worth diminishes if it cannot be applied to the rest of the world, because we didn’t get to listen to their perspective and situation.

And so re-stumbled on a crossing of same town where the repair team swooped in last year to reverse a crossing=zebra > crossing_ref=zebra change back to crossing=zebra and seems to coincide with me starting to use JOSM and dropping the contentious tag. Shows this is not the regular coq au vin, more like ratatouille.
What’s wrong with ratatouille? 
Since no one defended this apparently undiscussed edit, I’ve changed it back.
That is, the description of crossing_ref now reads “Used to reference a specific type of crossing” as in the first version of the page.
