Dear railML users,

after discussion with the other schema coordinators, we decided not to
wait until the next major release and started with the implementation
within railML 2.2 (see [3]):

The <mileageChange> element gets a new optional attribute "absDir",
which provides the values 'raising' and 'falling'. It will replace the
current attribute "dir" with the next major release and will become
required then.
