Context
This PR follow-up on issue #45, which received good engagement.
This originated form an issue by @e-lo for the GTFS Schedule Best Practices.
We'd like to eventually have the Best Practices and the specifications consolidated into one document, so we are incorporating new Best Practices directly into the spec (see efforts to merge the specifications and Best Practices here and here).
Proposal
This PR adds the following mention in shapes.txt description:
Given that zone-based services can now be modeled in GTFS and don't need
shapes.txt
defined, I didn't modify the Presence type of shapes.txt to Recommended, and rather chose a "should" statement in its description.Note that merging this PR means we'd add a WARNING in the Canonical GTFS Schedule Validator, which is the severity level for all GTFS Best Practices (spec should & recommended + everything in the Best Practices).
