SeatingEquipment and ShelterEquipment

Open JohanEntur opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Hi

I have a question and possibly an issue. I was going through the equipment section and I noticed that both Shelter and Seating has the "Seats" counter, but only Seats has Armrest and SeatHeight.

So I got to wondering, why does ShelterEquipment have its own Seats instead of just adding a SeatingEquipment in the shelter?

What we have is:

<ShelterEquipment id="FSR:Shelter:1" version="1">
    <Seats>4</Seats>
</ShelterEquipment>

<SeatingEquipment id="FSR:SeatingEquipment:1" version="1">
    <Seats>4</Seats>
    <Armrest>true</Armrest>
    <SeatHeight>1.2</SeatHeight>
</SeatingEquipment>

Which reads as 4 seats in the shelter and 4 separate seats, which is fine. That is a possibility. But I can only describe SeatHeight and Armrest if the seats are separate from the shelter.

...

But it could have been...like this?

<ShelterEquipment id="FSR:Shelter:1" version="1">
    <SeatingEquipment id="FSR:SeatingEquipment:1" version="1">
        <Seats>4</Seats>
        <Armrest>true</Armrest>
        <SeatHeight>1.2</SeatHeight>
    </SeatingEquipment>
</ShelterEquipment>

Now I'm describing 4 seats with armrests and a height IN the shelter.

It would provide much more information on the seats in the shelter, and it would use the same structure used to describe seats that NOT in a shelter. I hope my analysis makes sense 🤞
