I have updated the proposal in response to the comments from Nick  
Knowles re CEN standards. I have limited myself to making two changes  
which seem non-controversial. There is a 'undo' button if anyone  
thinks it they are controversial!

I have replaced stop area with stop place to match CEN IFOT  
terminology. An important reason for doing this is at CEN Transmodel  
already has a Stop Area which is something a little different and it  
is really confusing when terms get mixed in different contexts like  
that.

I have also replaced Stop Position with Stopping Point as this  
directly matches the CEN IFOPT term to the concept.

Here is the diff for the changes.

There are other changes that we have been asked to consider. I have  
put the recommendations on to the wiki talk page and have commented on  
each one.

Is it time to move this page to the main wiki? It seems wrong to be  
modifying a page in someone's private area.


Regards,



Peter
