Subject: RE: [xliff] Extensions in segments / Extended attributes in mrk
David, We already have a bad experience of interoperability problems due to custom extensions. I don’t want to leave the door open to more problems. As we agreed, we should not allow custom extensions inside segments. If that blocks custom extensions in inline elements, that’s fine for me. XLIFF inline elements can be improved as needed to support all or most use cases. Add whatever attributes you think are important for the <mark> element and properly document them in our specification. Keeping custom extensions away from translatable parts may help reduce compatibility problems. Regards, Rodolfo -- From: xliff@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:xliff@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Dr. David Filip Rodolfo, all while the urgency of this matter is partially connected to ITS 2.0 heading towards feature freeze [last call in W3C speak], the importance of the problem is generic. ITS is just an example of annotations that will need the markers to extend. As Yves points out, not allowing extensions on mrk prevents evolution of annotation modules. I want to stress that we do not propose to allow custom elements within segment, we just talk about extensibility of markers using custom attributes to make markers a generally usable annotation mechanism. As Yves mentioned, the goal is to have ITS mapping as a module at a later stage. Disabling extensibility on markers [comparing with 1.2. mrk] would prevent new modules from entering at the inline level, which I think is quite bad. No one wants to extend generic masking inlines, but the annotations are obviously a separate use case. We are talking very minimalistic extension mechanism, i.e. only attributes on two specific inline elements (<mrk>, <sm>). AND they MUST NOT compete with generic masking markup.

Yes we did.
ITS has tried very hard to work around the limitation of <mrk> in 2.0, using such referencing mechanism, providing stand-off annotations and pointers to map the features. -yves |
