Left/Right Instance Discussion

[erikbosch]

This is a follow up proposal to the items listed below, showing a potential solution:

• Duplicating instances os we have both Left/Right and DriverSide/PassengerSide
• Leaving mapping to implementation

Concerning implementation, I see several alternatives.

• If an OEM exclusively use Left/Right or Driver/Passenger references, they can in overlay remove the labels they do not need, or just not provide values for the unused "dimension"
• If both are used it can either be managed within the server by some config, or you have a LHD/RHD-specific mapper that manage mapping where needed.

Would a change like in this PR be an acceptable solution?

MoM:

• Please review/discuss, will need longer discussion if this is how we want things to be
• Daniel: Instances cannot be normative, focus should be mostly on entities, feature of interest, only suggesting a set of instances. But current expanded representation is a bit problematic as it mix entity and instance.
• Erik: Maybe discuss the topic at AMM

Putting it on hold/draft for now, in the sense that there seems to be more to discuss
