Subject: Suggested additional changes for XLIFF 1.2
Hi Tony etc., Following up on the conference call today, here are my
suggestions for additional changes of the XLIFF 1.2 specification: 1) The following attributes seem to be used only for file
format specific purposes. I propose deprecating them, as we should rather use the
extension mechanism for such things:
In addition to this I have the following proposals: 2) The name attribute for <context-group> is currently
marked as REQUIRED. (The specification indicates that this attribute should
only be used for processing instructions.) I propose to relax this rule and
allow the name attribute for a <context-group> to be optional. 3) I propose to add an extension point at the <xliff> level.
This would be useful for providing information that is common to all the files
in the XLIFF document. Some examples of what this could be used for:
4) I propose to deprecate the <sub> element in
favour of using the xid attribute and putting the embedded translatable
content inside a separate <trans-unit>. Reasons:
5) I propose to deprecate the restype attribute in
favour of using the <context> element to provide context
information. Reasons:
