<!-- head ignored --><!-- meta ignored --> <tt>The main thing
is that people often refer to "Talstation" and "Bergstation"
but this information is not machine-readeable but mostly
encoded in the names of the stations. My goal ist to make this
machine-readeable because it almost all cases people can refer
to it even if they do not know the station's name. It's
obvious what's meant in almost every case what I mean when I
say "Bergstation Mutteralmbahn" [1] even if the station's name
doesn't say so [2]. So let's put this into machine-readeable
tags to enable applications to solve a problem not for
specialists but for the general map purpose we're building.<br>

In my opinion we did have the right discussion and have a very
good proposed definition with easy values that people with a
basic understanding of english can understand. Do you agree?</tt></blockquote>
<p>Yes, I agree, provided the values are "top/bottom" or
"upper/lower" and not "head/base". Even "mountain/valley" could
be problematic as it depends on the geography and not simply on
the geometry (an end-station half-way up the mountain, what is
that?). The distinction is purely about the altitude of the
end-station relative to the other, not about whether it is
surrounded by shops or rocks.</p>
<p>This will enable a user to select all top-stations for example,
or to label the stations on a given cableway appropriately.</p>

Well then I will put this into the wiki, ok? :-)<br>
