RE: [xliff] XLIFF embedded terminology best practices document

Hi Magnus,

Sorry I replied to the wrong email previously I blame it on jet lag. You
are correct in assuming that the markup will be overriden by the
translation. It is designed to be a "throw away" type of notation. If we
wanted to keep the information, then it should be duplicated initially in
the <source> element. On reflection I think it may be a good idea to also
include it in the <source> tag. What do you think?

Best Regards,

AZ
