Subject: Re: [xliff] Uppercasing conformance keywords in OASIS specs
Ah - ok, that explains why I haven't seen a template request. Have a look at this recent Committee Specification - http://docs.oasis-open.org/tgf/TGF-PL-Core/v1.0/cs01/TGF-PL-Core-v1.0-cs01.html#_Toc308643678 The language around keywords at that link is the language we have used in .doc and .odt templates since before I began. To keep in alignment with the current practice, I recommend including and using this language. Also, I worked with Ken Holman to update the Docbook template and style sheet to produce specs that match our current format. I don't have the new environment posted on the OASIS site yet but I believe that http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=46254 contains the complete set. Let me know if you have any questions, /chet On Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 3:39 PM, Rodolfo M.
