RE: [xliff] XLIFF draft minor notes

Hi David,

Yes, getting a ruling from Chet is a good idea. Chet, are we at liberty to choose, or do you have OASIS directions regarding uppercase conformance words, and IRI over URI?

Thanks,

Bryan

Yves, all,

I support using IRIs and capitalized conformance words.

I asked Rodolfo before to use capitalized conformance words, but Rodolfo replied that the template we are using is OASIS prescribed and newer than the below linked regulation.

I think that we nevertheless should be able to use capitalized words, as it so much facilitates reading.

@Bryan, do you think you could clear with Chet or Jamie or whoever it takes, what needs to be done if the TC wants to use capitalized conformance words although the template seems to prescribe lower case? Whiich is anyway in clash with the 2007 regulation..

Thanks and cheers

Dr. David Filip

Hi all,

A couple of minor notes on the draft in general:

-- URI vs. IRI

Throughout the draft we use URI. Most newest standards now refer to IRIs rather than URIs.
Shouldn't we do the same?

-- MUST vs. must

Going back to that question of uppercasing our MUST, SHOULD, etc. keywords:
It seems this is the recommended way when writing conformance is to use upper cases
http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/TCHandbook/ConformanceGuidelines.html
I've also seen an OASIS checklist (which I can't find anymore) that listed to check the uppercasing as one of the item to verify.

cheers,
