Extension of stop descriptions (de: Erweiterung der Haltezwecke)

Description

It shall be possible to specify all activities that are planned for a stopas part of the stopDescription - e.g. using a fixed list of enumeration values. For this the existing stop activities from different countries shall be analyzed and then unified/merged.

Suggested change:

• solution has been discussed and agreed during the development phone conferences
• a sub-element will be introduced to hold the stopActivities

Background

Besides the existing attributes such as @commercial, @stopOnRequest, @onOff, etc. it shall be possible to provide the reason/purpose of stop not just as a free-text field that is currently availble using the attribute @purpose.
