signal@sigSystem="simplified" (older generation signalling systems still in use)
We have found a new use for the suggested deprecated attribute signal@sigSystem.
We use it for old systems that are still in use, but are not according to current standard. Thus we can use the existing @types and declare in sigSystem that they are of an older and more simple generation. This applies in Norway for "enkelt inkjørsignal" and "togsporsignal". Their modern equivalent would be type=main & function=home and type=repeater & function=exit. We initially planned to map these older signals with using these values and modifying the signals into old ones with usage of a Norwegian extension sub-eleemnt under signal. Using the sigSystem with value "simplified" makes it much cleaner. I have heard that there are also different generation of signals in Switzerland. Maybe this is also something for them? Or do you just use additional "other:" signal types for the old signals?
