Fixing genericArea location
Description
The <genericArea>
element has a mandatory child element <location>
. This does not make sense for generic areas that do not have a circular or polygon location, but refer to area limits (child element <isLimitedBy>
). For railML 3.3 it is foreseen to set the mandatory element <location>
to optional. For railML 3.2 a work-around based on zero-entries shall be applied.
