EPIP: Conflicting documentation on where to store the route-on-map.

Clarify if the gml:LineString in RouteLink is to be used or not.

[Aurige]

The comment in the table says that the place to put the schematic "shape" of a Line / Service Pattern is in the LineString of the ServiceLink (so that's where users will look for first). But you can still use the RouteLink to provide a more accurate geometry (so probably not schematic), i.e. matching the road/road-side, rails, etc.
I remember the discussion about it, and the idea was mainly to have a systematic way to describe the Line / Service Pattern shape.. so if a shape is provided, one (even schematic) has to be there.

I don't really see any conflict or contradiction myself. Based on the comment from @Aurige I would suggest adding the following clarification after the depicted text of section 7.2:

"EPIP requires gml:LineString of SERVICE LINKs to be provided whenever the shape is known. Thus, the geographically most accurate description of a ROUTE can be found in gml:LineString of the ROUTE LINKs if available; otherwise, it can be derived from gml:LineString of the SERVICE LINKs."

@skinkie Would that resolve the issue for you?
