Ok, but to my ears, a connection would be of some /type/ rather than it
would have a "reason".

Hmm, I read the description of these attributes in the wiki, but did not
come to the end that this was their intention. If maxConnTime is the
maximal delay, what then is minConnTime?

I agree for printouts, but this would not work for online connection
finders and AVL systems where a driver wants to see the connection the
relevant location.
You are right, the ocpTTs are not referencable, could you please open a
ticket for future versions?
Trainparts would be somewhat more precise than trains, and they have a
validity. Maybe a connection holds only on certain dates.

Best, Andreas.
