Subject: Re: Revised version of the Acronym/Glossary Proposal
Hi Bruce, Thanks, I hadn't noticed this! I think it was a typo..... "emit" should have been "omit". Robert, could you change the sentence: A glossary publishing process should emit the surface form for the term. to what I propose in the attached file (I'm attaching it to avoid corruption by e-mail clients). This new content also addresses Bruce's suggestion that we mention glossary output formats. Perhaps you should put this in the section "Usage for glossary publishing". (See attached file: abs.txt) May I also suggest that you change the term "translation workbench" to "computer assisted translation environment" (several occurrences). That is the more standard term and some people may not know exactly what you are talking about with "workbench".

I'm not sure whether processing strategies for published glossaries should or should not be in the markup proposal. I'll let others comment on that.

I'll use brackets to suggest an addition. Perhaps I missed a statement elsewhere of this fallback behavior. > A glossary publishing process should emit the surface form for the term. [ If no surface form is provided, the glossterm should be emitted. ] Kara provided examples showing that the glossary publishing process could also emit a supporting entry for the acronym that refers to the full term. Is this mentioned / is the method for this explained in the proposal? Perhaps it is an existing mechanism.

See the addition of the comment about leaving an empty element in a translation. I added a sentence that suggests that translation software may generate an error in this case. The solution I suggest is to have the translator duplicate the <glossterm> in all instances including surface form and full form. I cannot take part in the Monday or Tuesday meetings of the translation SC or the DITA TC. ( I am teaching a workshop) Could I ask Gershon to represent the Translation SC at both meetings? Gershon, please let me know if you can chair a translation SC meeting to review the A/G proposal once more. I have not incorporated Bruce Esrig's rewording. I could also not process the HTML version because the version I opened of Erik's Arbortext content did not display any of the tables after the first. Have no idea why. JoAnn JoAnn T.
