[xliff-inline] Id attribute between source and target

["Estreen, Fredrik" <Fredrik.Estreen@lionbridge.com>]

Hi,

 

When reading through the current working draft I started thinking about the wording regarding the ID of inline codes in the target.

 

“The value of the id attribute for this code in the target MUST be the same as its corresponding code in the source.”

 

I think we might need to reword this to allow new tags with unique Id’s in the target that do not exist in the source. This is very common for some languages. Something like:

 

“The value of the id attribute for this code in the target MUST be the same as its corresponding code in the source if it has one. If it does not have a corresponding code in source it’s id must be unique within both source and target.”
