Subject: [xliff] 1.1 proposal
Problem 1 : Need a closed list of attributes that are controlled
by the reformat attribute
Problem 2 : Need fine grained control over individual
members of this list
Problem 3 : If Non Standard attributes are represented
by props, need a mechanism for specifying which attributes may be modified
Proposal 1
In the XLIFF 1.0 spec, the reformat attribute is used to indicate
that all UI attributes may or may not be modified.
The spec mentions font, size, etc.
The specific attributes are not detailed.
A closed list of attributes controlled by the Reformat attribute
will remove ambiguity
Proposal 2
A reformat element will be used as an alternative to the reformat
attribute
If specified, all attributes listed within the element may be
modified in the trans-unit/bin-unit.
All attributes not within the element may not be modified
All attributes in the element will have empty or default values.
The value of the attribute is ignored. Its presence is used to
validate and control changes to the 'Real' attribute
The trans-unit/bin-unit may specify a reformat attribute, or
a reformat element, but not both
Proposal 3
If Non XLIFF standard UI attributes are specified using props,
a reformat attribute within the prop-group will specify that all attributes
within the prop-group may or may not be modified.
This is primarily of use for end users, that use these values
in proprietary environments.
