Inconsistency between “number of bedrooms” and “numberOfRooms” – possible misinterpretation of legislative intent #3

I would like to report a possible inconsistency in the STR-AP specification regarding room/bed capacity attributes.
• On the release page: https://semiceu.github.io/STR-AP/releases/1.0.1/, the Unit entity defines the attribute number of bedrooms with the description: The maximum number of available bed places.
• However, in the platform documentation:
https://github.com/SEMICeu/STR-AP/blob/main/prototype/5.%20Documentation%20for%20stakeholders/Platforms.md#post-invalid-listings-endpoint-4-for-platforms, the attribute numberOfRooms is used instead.

After reviewing relevant legislation in English, German, Czech, and Slovak, it seems clear that the legislator’s intent is to refer to the number of bed places (i.e., sleeping capacity) rather than the number of rooms.

This mismatch between naming and semantics could lead to confusion or incorrect data submissions. I suggest clarifying the intended meaning and ensuring consistent attribute naming across documentation.

Thank you!
