Further tagging for doors

In the recently opened Sydney Metro, the platform doors have official numbering. I presume ref=* would be the desired way to number this? I think we should also be able to tag whether the doors are preferred for wheelchairs. Apart from that, proposal seems like a good idea to me. I hope it's not abandoned?

Various platform barriers

A note since I encountered this:

1. Japan has a lof of different platform barrier designs that aren't quite "gates" or doors. I like the proposal's general title of "platform barrier" more than the specific values.

2. Relevant to "platform barrier" (similar to the presence of bus kerbs) are platform gap fillers, movable platform edge extensions that bridge the boarding process to trains on curved platforms, which could possibly be tagged as a barirer=* value. (or maybe boarding height and gap should be tagged separately as well, pertinent to especially wheelchair and visually impaired accessibility) These increasingly common platform furnitures deserve to be examined.

Wonder how OpenRailwayMap editors received this early on.
