Hello JoAnn, all

it would be nice if you could forward this to the dita-translation list
dita-translation@lists.oasis-open.org
since I cannot post directly to the list.

Thank you,

Felix

The Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Working Group has published a 
Group Note of Best Practices for XML Internationalization. This document 
provides a set of guidelines for developing XML documents and schemas 
that are internationalized properly. Following the best practices 
describes here allow both the developer of XML applications, as well as 
the author of XML content to create material in different languages.

(reader-friendly PDF)

Section 5 of the document "ITS Applied to Existing Formats"
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-xml-i18n-bp-20080213/#Modularization
contains a section about ITS and DITA

Thanks a lot to the people on this list who gave feedback on drafts on 
this section, and this document in general.

Felix
