RE: [xliff] [Fwd: [xliff-comment] XLIFF 1.2 Errata: Count-type]

Since the TC has not yet voted to submit for OASIS Standard it makes more sense to clear up any known issues *prior* to taking that step. Knowing that there are problems but still trying promote your work as OASIS Standard – worthy will just confuse anyone trying to use the specification. The deadline for November ballot was 15 Oct, so you can either go in December or January (better bet). Since you have some time, I highly recommend clearing up any known problems prior to moving forward.

Regards,

Mary

Hi Rodolfo,

I've compared the Spec and the strict schema. I verify that the schema indeed includes the state-qualifier value list for the count-type attribute, which is not specified in the Spec. I think the best course of action is to document this as a "fine-tuning" item to add to our future goals for errata, and future versions of the spec. But I do not think it's critical, and I don't think it should have any bearing on our plan to proceed toward OASIS ballot.

If any of the TC members have other thoughts I'd welcome them. Otherwise I'll be happy to reply to Asgeir on the comment list, thanking him for his continued help, and to inform him of our plans on the issue.

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi all,
 
I just noticed a small inconsistency between the schema and
specification with regards to count-type attribute values:
 
The specification defines the following union of allowed values for
this attribute:
 1) CountType value list
 2) Xtend values
 3) datatype value list
 4) restype value list
 5) state value list
 
The XML schema specifies the following values:
 1) CountType value list
 2) Xtend values
 3) datatype value list
 4) restype value list
 5) state value list
 6) state-qualifier value list
 
Notice that the schema allows state-qualifier values for this attribute...
 
cheers,
asgeir
