Note from Rodolfo: The representation guides that we have still say
"Public Review Draft 02" because we don't have a better name for
approved related documents yet.
Note from Bryan: I did not include our FAQ, Whitepaper, or
articles. I think we can use these as leverage to help persuade members to
vote, down the line, but I do not consider them part of the core.

(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification
The XLIFF 1.2 Specification defines the XML Localization
Interchange File Format (XLIFF). The purpose of this vocabulary is to store
localizable data and carry it from one step of the localization process to the
other, while allowing interoperability between tools.
The specification is tool-neutral, supports the entire localization
process, and supports common software, document data formats, and mark-up
languages. The specification provides an extensibility mechanism to allow the
development of tools compatible with an implementer's data formats and workflow
requirements. The extensibility mechanism provides controlled inclusion of
information not defined in the specification.
(e) Statement of the relationship of this specification to similar
work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations
·
XLIFF is an XML-based vocabulary (http://www.w3.org/XML/).
·
XLIFF is represented in the DITA Translation Subcommittee, and will
be featured in a translation best practices document (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita-translation).
·
XLIFF has a working relationship with LISA/OSCAR standards related
to Translation and Localization (http://www.lisa.org/),
and is a requirement for several LISA standards like
o TMX (http://www.lisa.org/standards/tmx/),
Support XLIFF inline markup in TMX 2.0 is in progress at this moment (draft
posted for public review).
o GMX-V (http://www.lisa.org/standards/gmx/),
XLIFF is a requirement
o xml:tm (http://www.lisa.org/standards/xmltm/),
XLIFF is a requirement

Hi everyone,
I believe the latest timeline I had heard was that
you would be submitting XLIFF for OASIS Standard vote on/before December 15
(which would result in an OASIS ballot 16-31 Jan). This is a gentle reminder
that you have approximately 36 hours to meet that deadline.
Regards,
Mary
