[webservices] counting stages

[Philip Crotwell]

Hi

Following up, I found this in the comments. Sorry, I should read more
carefully, but I think this is a leftover comment from the old station xml
as the same text appears in the old stationxml schema doc? Presumably you
would not have deprecated features in a brand new schema? Can you clarify?

    In this schema, stage 0 gains are allowed but are considered deprecated.

thanks
Philip
