Personally I am not involved directly in this topic but the colleague that
approached me was thinking about expected passenger numbers.
It might be used as a measure to point out the required capacity as Dirk
pointed out, but also to give a measure for the expected revenues from
ticket sales - which would be an argument against using the term "minimum
neccessary places" (even though I do realize that passengers without a
seat are less happy in general).
However I do not see such a big difference between actually using a given
passenger number as an "expected number" versus a "counted number": It
might even be distinguished via an appropriate scope attribute
("expected", "actual", "average", "requested", etc. or similar).

I would prefer to see several occurences with distinct operatingPeriodRef
within one trainPart but it would also be okay to repeat the trainPart
themselves.
