OK, but is there such a section in the NR?  Did you have somewhere
in mind? There is quite an extended discussion in LM 4.4.3 which

in NR 5.4 called Vertical positioning or similar might be useful.

Sounds good.

As you know, in the meantime I added a snippet to show a delayed turn.
Thanks for the improvement, BTW :)
