It is not so easy with redundancies. Of course we should avoid them as
much as possible. But sometimes we can hardly avoid them without risking
that RailML will not be accepted in practice.

In this special case I agree with Andreas; from our side no objection
against fully deleting (declaring deprecated) everything but the
<operatingPeriodRef>.ref.
