Description
cc @pjanck @SergejMuhic
I think the main potential point of confusion that needs to be clarified is on `CartesianPosition`. I assume this the equivalent transform expressed as a non-linear explicit placement.
(from https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/3098#issuecomment-1773273725)
Proposal:
*RelativePlacement*
Geometric placement derived from a location on a curve that defines the transformation from the related coordinate system into the relating.
*CartesianPosition*
Optional explicit equivalent of `RelativePlacement` that can be used by software that does not support evaluating linear placements.
