Does anyone need the 'dir' attribute inside the elements 'radiusChange'
and 'gradientChange'?

What does an import filter do in case of missing this attribute?

If I need to apply the 'dir' attribute, I have to write lots of
redundant information for both directions.

radiusChanges:
500------1200-------

km ->
0--------300-------600

<rail:radiusChange id="rc0" pos="0" radius="500" dir="up"/>
<rail:radiusChange id="rc1" pos="300" radius="1200" dir="up"/>

<rail:radiusChange id="rc2" pos="600" radius="1200" dir="down"/>
<rail:radiusChange id="rc3" pos"=300" radius="500" dir="down"/>

My favourite:

<rail:radiusChange id="rc0" pos="0" radius="500"/>
<rail:radiusChange id="rc1" pos="300" radius="1200"/>

No 'dir' attribute in 'radiusChange' and appropriate 'gradientChange'.

All '*change' definitions impact the track part with increasing 'pos'
(relative positioning = track positioning) until the next similar
'*change' element.

'speedChange' needs a different behaviour because there are often
different speed aspects subject to direction.

How about the other '*change' elements?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Kind regard,
Susanne
