I have made one more change to the guidance. @mgoberfield please consider.
Keeping in mind that "[t]he regulations are there for us to comply with, and if we believe they are inappropriate we should change them instead of doing what we want". So long as MIE agrees that there can be less than 4 forecast elements in the IWXXM TCA product because of TC dissipation, then your latest revision to the text is fine with me.

Can't agree more. I have made another attempt. Do you think this is obvious enough for the people to know they have to include all empty iwxxm:forecast?
Your last revision is clear enough to me. Thank you.
The documentation of directionOfMotion and speedOfMotion have to be updated, too.

speedOfMotion can be provided in either two units of measures: "km/h" or "[kn_i]" (knots).</documentation>

Updated TAC-to-XML-Guidance.txt document and example of STNR in AIRMET.
