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.}

<isCatenarySignal>

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

summarize both in <isInformationSignal>
> • level crossing
<isLevelCrossingSignal>
.... have it already

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

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

<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
