Proposal
Add roles to public transport (PTv2) relations to signify that the vehicle only stops on demand.
Rationale
In many cities there often exist public transport lines which have certain stops on demand. They are commonly parts of night bus lines, however regular lines can also have some less popular stops as request stops. The reason why this role is be better than request_stop=yes is because a stop could still be a permanent stop for most public transport lines while being a request stop for others.
Tagging
The role request_stop should be used just like a regular stop role, likewise request_platform should be used on the corresponding public transport platform. Combinations such as request_stop_entry_only can also be used.[1]
Examples
A bus line which has certain stops on demand should have request_stop and request_platform roles on those stops.
