RE: [xliff-comment] Schema issues with extensible attributes

["Doug Domeny" <ddomeny@ektron.com>]

Asgeir,

 

The 'mixed' value, as you probably know, means that text is allowed within
the 'tool' tags. The spec reads, 

"The <tool> element describes the tool that has been used to execute a given
task in the document. .

Contents:

Zero, one or more non-XLIFF elements."

It doesn't explicitly state that text is allowed, but since the intent is to
allow proprietary content, I believe most people will assume that text is
allowed.

 

Thank you again for your comments.

 

Regards,

Hi all,

I'm taking up a little too much bandwidth on this list at the moment, but
this should be my last one:

Only one of the validators (Xerces or XSV) complained about the (potential)
ambiguity.


All good, but why is there a mixed='true' attribute in the tool element? If
this is correct, it would be nice to have this added this to the description
of the element in the specification. 

cheers,
