I've added this to the proposed features in the wiki.
What if we put an optional attribute on XLIFF elements that match HTML elements? It would enable a quick "at-a-glance" HTML page to be created for review cycle. It would be important to specify that the attribute is not meant for round-tripping back into the original format.
I imagine this would be extended vs. core.
For example:
Have an optional format-style attribute to put on block and inline XLIFF elements that map to HTML, like this:
<group fs="html">
<group fs="body">
<trans-unit fs="div">
<source fs="p">Mick Jones renewed his interest in the Vintage <ph fs="strong">'72 Telecaster Thinline </ph>guitar. <x fs="br" />He says <ph fs="q">I love 'em</ph></source>
</trans-unit>
<trans-unit fs="div">
. . .
</trans-unit>
</group>
</group>
A simple XSL like this:
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" priority="2">
<xsl:element name="{@fs}">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
Could make a nice at-a-glance review page like this:
<html>
<body>
<div>
<p>Mick Jones renewed his interest in the Vintage <strong>'72 Telecaster Thinline </strong>guitar. <br/>He says <q>I love 'em</q>
</p>
</div>
<div>
. . .
</div>
</body>
</html>
For that matter, in the example above we could skip the group elements and fs attributes and let the processor assume they were implied.
