Dear Torben,
The coordinators discussed this topic in our telco on 26 June and I was
given the task to create a Trac ticket and present it in the forum. You
can find the Track ticket at [1], but then I left for the summer and the
forum post was postponed. So I thank you for saving me the work :)
One correction, though: this issue also applies to railML 3, as
<designator> was not applied to organisational units in railML 3.1.
As Christian writes, we also need feedback from the community on whether
we should:
a) Keep the InfrastructureManagers.xml code list as an authoritative
reference for @code in <infrastructureManager> (in addition to <designator>)
b) Stop using the code list for future versions and recommend using
<designator> instead. @code will still exist in 2.5, but will function
like it does on other elements, and no longer be a universal reference.
I prefer b. It saves maintenance, is more consistent with how @code is
used elsewhere, and gives consistency between different types of
organisational units.
