Content/value of lrs_type is unclear

[j-d-b]

The lrs_type property, on the metadata in v2.0 and the RoadEventDataSource object in v3.0, is noted to be a "String" with the description

Describes the type of linear referencing system used for the milepost measurements

From this description, it is not clear what the lrs_type value should be.

I'm not familiar with LRS, so I may be off the mark here, but is it feasible for lrs_type to use an enumerated type (including other)?

There is also lrs_url, so perhaps all LRS info could be refactored into an LRS object with three properties:

1. type: an enumerated type, replaces lrs_type
2. description: a longer description of the lrs_type, especially important if it type is other
3. url: text url, replaces lrs_url

Whether or not any change is made to the spec, it needs to be clarified what the value of lrs_type should look like.

Top proposed solution is to deprecate lrs_type and lrs_url. These have just been carried over since v1.0 without discussion. No current producers are using them and everyone who has contributed supports deprecating/removing.

If there are objections to this, please provide comments here.

[j-d-b]

As this will be part of the v4.0 release and no producers are using these properties right now, I think we should remove these properties rather than deprecate.

Is there any opposition to removing as opposed to deprecating?

Resolved by deprecating lrs_type and lrs_url in #177.
