Thank you for being nitpicking, because that was exactly the hint I needed.
FALKO does not care how long a platform of a switch is, but only wants to
display the track-lenght in a station and that is defined by the signals

I think "generalElements" should be the very last option to use.

Perhaps there could be an container like "ocpSize" as child of an
ocp-element, where all geometric data of the ocp-element like lenght, height
or width could be stored.
>> 3.stopping points
Maybe in a further infrastructureSchema could be two optional ocp-attributes
"type" and "direction", so you could display easily a stopping point without
effecting every other kind of ocp.
The attribute "type" could also have a number of fix inputs. If your ocp is
something like it is mentioned there you can indicate very early what kind
of ocp you have otherwise you don't have to use the attribute.
Best regards
