#41: David Harrington's DISCUSS Comment(by bernard_aboba at ?):
Proposed Resolution: In 2.2.1.2, s/same respoonse. This is not useful
since/same response, since/ Replace Section 2.4.3 with the following:

A value of two for Altitude Type indicates that the Altitude value is
measured in floors. This value is relevant only in relation to a
building; the value is relative to the ground level of the building.

In this definition, numbering starts at ground level, which is floor
0 regardless of local convention. Floors located below ground level
could be represented by negative values.

I recommend a change to be definitive here with
s/could be/are


Larger values represent floors
that are above (higher in altitude) floors with lower values.

This sentence is written in one direction; i.e., up.

I recommend
"Larger values represent floors that are farther away from floor 0
such that -

- if positive, the floor value is farther above the ground floor.

- if negative, the floor value is farther below the ground floor."


Non-integer values can be used to represent intermediate or sub-
floors, such as mezzanine levels. Example: a
mezzanine between floor 1 and floor 2 could be represented as a value
= 1.1. Example: (2) mezzanines between floor 4 and floor 5 could be
represented as values = 4.1 and 4.2 respectively.

I'm fine with the rest as written.

Here is a revised proposal for the text of Section 2.4.3:

2.4.3. Altitude in Floors (AType = 2)

A value of two for Altitude Type indicates that the Altitude value is
measured in floors. Since altitude in meters may not be known within
a building, a floor indication may be more useful. This value is
relevant only in relation to a building; the value is relative to the
ground level of the building.

Numbering starts at ground level, which is floor 0 regardless of
local convention. Floors located below ground level are represented
by negative values. Larger values represent floors that are farther
away from floor 0 such that:

- if positive, the floor value is farther above the ground floor.
- if negative, the floor value is farther below the ground floor.

Non-integer values can be used to represent intermediate or sub-
floors, such as mezzanine levels. Example: a mezzanine between floor
1 and floor 2 could be represented as a value of 1.1. Example:
mezzanines between floor 4 and floor 5 could be represented as values
of 4.1 and 4.2.
