Description
Placement is currently mandatory for IfcTextLiteral. This seems inconsistent. I propose to make it optional (and therefore default to an identity matrix) which is the same behaviour for other types of representation items.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the IFC4.x specification definition for IfcTextLiteral and compare its Placement requirement with other representation items. Confirm the intended optionality and identity-matrix behavior, then verify the specification consistently reflects the decision.
