I agree with you and consequently we should throw out all enumaration
values that further define the train protection system. Alternatively, I
suggest to define two separate lists for listing train protection
systems. The first one focuses on the train protection system device
installed to the train and contains the enumeration values as currently
available in "tNationalSystemsType". Maybe we should rename it
"tNationalSystemsTypeForVehicle"? The second list
"tNationalSystemsTypeOnRail" might be shorter because of discarding
values such as 'IndusiXY' and summarizing them to 'PZB'.

In my opinion, the value 'ETCS' should only be used in case I need to
define the position of an ETCS train protection element without knowing
the certain train protection element type (balise, loop, ...).
