Dear Torben,

Why not thinking it the other way around: you can derive the value of
<crossSection>@ocpCenterSide from the sequence numbers of all the tracks?

The type of the attribute <ocp><propEquipment><trackRef>@sequence could
be changed from xs:positiveInteger into xs:integer without loosing
backwards compatibility. Therefore, if there is a need for it, railML
2.5 could have this change included.

This approach seems to be a more complex one...
However, what does the rest of the community think about this proposal?

And I would prefer the direction of increasing mileage :-)
Any other opinions from the community?

Best regards
