Yves,
This is reasonable. However, what does the phase-name refer to in an
old 
alt-trans target: when it was introduced or when it was moved to
alt-trans?
cheers,

Hi all,

I just had a thought.
XLIFF uses <alt-trans> to provide two types of information:
pre-translated
material, and old version of the translation (change tracking).
However
there are no specified way of distinguishing between which <alt-trans>
is
what. We probably need to add some guidelines in the specification for
this.
For example: any <alt-trans> with a match-quality attribute is a
proposed
translation, if not and has a phase reference in its <target> element,
it's
a old translation being kept track of. Or something of that effect.

At some point tools will have to implement this. How would you see
this
done?

Cheers,
