We need a new conformance clause, as simple as possible, to release the updated version. We could also use this opportunity to fix the problem with target language declaration not mandatory in files that contain translated segments. > b.

It could be OK to keep current behaviour in XLIFF 1.2 Validation can happen in dedicated tools, not necessarily in the schemas. > c.

It would be almost impossible to incorporate that validation in a schema. My concern regarding pairing was limited to the official examples. Any example we publish must have correct pairing. Again, validation should not be delegated to schemas, as there are many details that cannot be enforced. Perhaps we can update the XLIFF FAQ topic on validation and mention XLIFFChecker there.
