[tc-announce] OASIS XLIFF TC charter clarification

["Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS members:

FYI - the OASIS XLIFFF TC has voted to clarify its statement of
purpose. The new purpose of the TC is:

"The purpose of the OASIS XLIFF TC is to define, through XML
vocabularies an extensible specification for the interchange of
localization information. The specification will provide the ability
to mark up and capture localizable data and interoperate with
different processes or phases without loss of information. The
vocabularies will be tool-neutral, support the localization-related
aspects of internationalization and the entire localization process.
The vocabularies will support common software and content data
formats. The specification will provide an extensibility mechanism to
allow the development of tools compatible with an implementer's own
proprietary data formats and workflow requirements".
