+General Parameters
+------------------
 
 * ``@osmId`` - id of the OSM feature with its type (node/way/relation)
-* ``@validFrom`` - indicates when a creation or change of this feature with these exactly attributes and geometry was made; has the same value as the fromTimestamp if the creation/change happened before the requested timestamp
-* ``@validTo`` - indicates until when this feature with these exactly attributes and geometry stayed unchanged or undeleted; has the same value as the fromTimestamp if the creation/change happened before the requested timestamp
+* ``@version`` - version of the feature
+* ``@changesetId``- id assigned to a changeset
+* ``@osmType``- type (node/way/relation) of OSM feature
