In Norway we discussed just a week or two ago if <border>s were suitable for specifying shunting areas etc. in stations. Would this kind of use be in line with what the element is intended for? Two questions we had was how to group borders together to actually form an area, and how to specify what kind of area it is. The former can be solved by using a common name for all borders of the same area, and the latter by using type="other:...", but creating a way to group borders together by IDREF seems preferable.
This is also one of the elements where it is difficult to understand the semantics of the dir attribute. Can a border exist in only one direction?
