RE: [xliff] Working Draft - link to XLIFF examples for specific object types

["Lieske, Christian" <christian.lieske@sap.com>]

Hi Yves,

I wonder if the XLIFF WD should provide links to what I would
term 'canonical XLIFF representations for specific object types'.
My feeling is the following: 

* If we ask several people to create XLIFF representations for a
  specific object type (e.g. Java property files), we end up with
  several representation alternatives.

* We could foster uniformity of representation if we as a TC explicitly
  publish 'desired' representations for specific object types. The WD
  could link to these representations.

Best,
Christian

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
