No underground passenger stations in pak128?

As far as I can tell, the latest version of pak128 (2.3.0) contains underground freight platforms but not passenger platforms. It looks like http://simutrans.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/simutrans?view=revision&revision=1005 is the commit that set allow_underground for various rail stations back in November. Was it simply an oversight to not include an underground passenger platform? If it's due to lack of underground-specific art, would it be possible to mark one of the existing platforms as being buildable below ground?

Due to lack of underground-specific art. You can get some great underground station addons at the SNFOS web site though.

Simply put a station building on the surface... ;)

mEGa is working on some underground stations, I think.

My projects... Tools for messing with Simutrans graphics. Graphic archive - templates and some other stuff for painters. Development logs for most recent information on what is going on. And of course pak128!

This all makes sense -- and, yes, a workaround is to build some manner of passenger building above ground. I think it'll still make the default game more playable if one of the existing rail platforms could be temporarily marked as allow_underground=2 until underground-specific art exists.
