Dear Philip,

I know about the "conclusion" of the meeting in Berlin on this subject
and of course, we can easily accept it by implementing an own railML
extension.

I only want to warn because I think that "only for two data consumers"
should not be a real reason to refuse a suggestion. Always somebody will
be the first, won't it?

I think any reason for refusing a suggestion should be a technical one.
So which technical reason can be said against our suggestion? So far, I
think iRFP has always tried to argue with technical background so
shouldn't we have the right to get a technical answer as well, should we?

--
My concern is not a personal or embittered one but I am worried about
that we come to a stand still with the development of <timetable> if we
block improvements in railML 2.x and at the same time do not go ahead
with 3.x. iRFP has also made several attempts to start a <timetable> 3.x
with came to nothing so far, and in the case of the Berlin meeting do
not even have been discussed.

Sorry, but I think we have come to a stand still. I ask myself what we
should get some greater steps forward with <timetable> if even the
smaller steps are blocked. You should be careful not to administrate a
<monster> 2.x which went into a mess.

Best regards,
Dirk.
