The ticket suggests a "remarks" attribute. I'm not so convinced by that
since this is quite generic. The more specific an attribute is, the less
explanation is needed in the documentation.
We (IVU) currently use the trackInfo attribute to store a formatted
string that encodes platform and section. We use our private "decoding"
to map to our infrastructure model. Now the proper references to
infrastructure elements were added and of course, this is much better.
Still, possibly a formatted version of the track info could be useful as
a "commercial" attribute for printouts and displays in case that it
cannot be deduced from the infrastructure references.

Best regards
--Andreas.
