at least the second point of your bullet list can already be handled
with railML 3.1 beta: In order to locate an element (e.g. a signal) next
to the railway track (and related NetElement), you can use the offset
parameters @lateralOffset and @verticalOffset.

So, looking at the Simple Example, the home signal to "Bf Cstadt", named
"69A" and standing right of the track, should be modelled like this:

<signal name="69A" id="sig04" type="main">
<spotLocation id="sig04_sloc01" netElementRef="ne_b03"
intrinsicCoord="0" applicationDirection="normal">
<linearCoordinate positioningSystemRef="lps01" measure="4300.0"
lateralOffset="2.2"/>
</spotLocation>
</signal>

Regarding the other bullet points let me forward the question to the
community: Are you interested in having information about lamps and
mounting implemented in the railML 3 infrastructure schema?

Best regards
Christian
