Hello,
I propose that while we are adding/changing features and functions, there is a minimum set of container elements (hierarchy) that we should preserve as framework for XLIFF 2.0. I think that set is: xliff, file, header, skl, internal-file, external-file, body, group, and unit.
(legend: 1 = one
+ = one or more
? = zero or one
* = zero, one or more)
<xliff>1
|
|
+--- <file>+
|
+--- <header>?
| |
| +--- <skl>?
| |
| +--- <internal-file>?
| |
| +--- <external-file>?
|
|
+--- <body>1
|
+--- <group>*
|
+--- <unit>*
Of these I can only think that <group> could be controversial. I say that because it is feasible that it could change like <trans-unit> changed into <unit>. But I doubt the concept of grouping will go away.
And while it may be premature to say this, I envision that this will be a core feature (though ranking it as core is not part of this proposal).
Thanks,
