Dear Dirk,

for getting a connection to another forum, it is better to use the
followup-tag. However, I still think, that we are talking about an
infrastructure aspect and I hope the next lines can clarify my opinion:

Your idea limits the blocking to tracks, which is quite a static
approach and, furthermore, need to be extended very soon. Despite a
certain track, also a signal or a balise or a switch etc. can be
disabled in the sense of "is not available for operation". Therefore, I
suggest to define the "disabled" feature as a child elment for all the
relevant infrastructure objects, e.g. tracks, switches, signals.

Again, the attributes that you propose here, are only valid for track
blockings. We may think about allowing for definition of points on
tracks, from where on the track is blocked. However, since the
"disabled" sub-element will be available for all relevant tracks, there
is no need to define a length of the blocking section in form of a
"from-to" attribute group.

The definition of time periods during which the infrastructure is
disabled is not the task of the infrastructure schema. Here, I suggest
to just implement a reference from the <disabled> element to an
operating period.

Further comments appreciated...
