Dear Dirk,

What kind of relation do you think about: The relation between different
stop posts or the relation between different constraints/properties of a
stop post?

To keep it short we may think about the "bounding" parameter with the
values 'upTo', 'moreThan' and 'exactly'.

I agree. This bounding-issue probably needs more time to think about it
and we may have another try with railML 2.3?

How about using the already introduced stop post parameter
"verbalConstraints", which is of type xs:string?
