Comments

Easy to identify which items are for localisation

How do you identify both elements and attributes

Maybe we could introduce the idea of specifying the id as xlf:id
This would necessitate all three xlf items being specified together in an element

Eg.

<xlf:localise localise="yes">
   <xlf:path="/menu/menupopup/menuitem/caption"
       xlf:unit-id="/menu/menupopup/menuitem/@id">
</xlf:localise>

<xlf:localise localise="yes">
   <xlf:path="/menu/menupopup/menuitem/accesskey"
       xlf:unit-id="/menu/menupopup/menuitem/@id">
</xlf:localise>

<xlf:localise localise="yes">
   <xlf:path="/menu/menupopup/menuitem/accesskey/@type"
       xlf:unit-id="/menu/menupopup/menuitem/@id">
</xlf:localise>
