Subject: RE: [xliff] Working Draft - explicit statement on inheritance
Hi Yves, I wonder if we are lacking an explicit statement about inheritance in the XLIFF WD. I am thinking along the lines of the statements in XML 1.0 related to 'xml:space' and 'xml:lang' (sth. like 'valid for all subelements as well unless overridden'). Scenario: I want to set a kind of default for the maximum length of a trans-unit. Approach: <body> <group maxwidth="255"> <trans-unit id="1" resname="news2" restype="button" maxwidth="50"> <source xml:lang="DE-DE">Drucktaste</source> </trans-unit> <!-- ... other <trans-unit> would inherit the maxwidth defined for <group> --> </group> </body> Observation: This approach only works if inheritance really applies. -----Original Message----- From: Yves Savourel [mailto:ysavourel@translate.com] Sent: Freitag, 12. Juli 2002 21:50 To: XLIFF list Subject: [xliff] Working Draft Hi everyone, Here is an updated version of the working draft for 1.1. The zip file includes the schema for the core and the values. I didn't include the proposal for <reformat> nor <tool> in it yet. I'm still looking into how to allow extending attribute values. I suppose you can define your own list of types and import the pre-defined one, but that is akward for validation. It would be nice to fine a way to have to change only imported files, so the reference to the main XSDs would remain the same regardless whether or not you have your own extension. I hope some of you have ideas for this, because I can see I'm running out... Have a great week-end -yves
