Dear Torben,

Sounds good, let's have a look at the issue in detail and combine it
with a proposal:

<isAnnouncementSignal>
@type = {"whistle", "horn", ...}
@refersToElement = {reference to level crossing, halt, etc.}

> •    Border:  Indicating a level transition. Type start/end.

<isSystemBorderSignal>?

> •    catanary

<isCatenarySignal>
.... have it already

<isDangerSignal>
Is a fouling point (clearance post) also a danger signal?

summarize both in <isInformationSignal>

> •    level crossing

<isLevelCrossingSignal>
.... have it already

> •    main:  all route related signals
> •    movement:  all signals giving an indication of the

<isTrainMovementSignal>
This includes main signals, distant signals, repeaters...

<isVehicleEquipmentSignal>?
@type = {snowplowUp, snowplowDown, ...}

> •    Position:  mileposts and distance signals (f.i. to level
> crossings)

<isPositionSignal>
@refersToPositioningSystem
@isMilepost

> •    Shunting:  shunting related signals

integrate in <isTrainMovementSignal>
Some countries don't distinguish between shunting and train movements.

> •    Speed

<isSpeedSignal>
.... have it already

•    stop post

<isStopPost>
.... have it already

Best regards
Christian
