RE: [xliff-comment] xliff-1-1.xsd has invalid attributesminOccurs,maxOccurs in <xs:choice>

[Doug <doug@ektron.com>]

Tony,

I would like to be more formally involved. I don't consider myself an XML
Schema expert, however, I am currently actively using (and enhancing) the
XLIFF schema 1.1.

Ektron builds a browser plugin that is an XHTML/XML editor for business
users. I'm currently developing a web application with XLIFF for our
customers and for our own internal use. I'm particularly interested in
mixing XHTML within an XLIFF document. I'm also working on embedding
XLIFF-like tags into an XHTML skeleton (template) file so that the XLIFF
document can be automatically generated from the XHTML file. The HTML output
is generated by merging the skeleton file with the XLIFF document.

What do I need to do to participate more formally?

Regards,

Doug D

Hi Doug:

Thanks for the input  - it's very helpful.  We'll add this to the list of
issues
to review for the 1.1 spec.

Do you have any interest in participating more formally in the TC?   We're
somewhat light on Schema expertise,  so your input would be very much
appreciated.

Regards,
Tony
