Subject: RE: [xliff-comment] Determining what <note> elements refer to
That makes sense John and Hi to John (1 and 2) -----Original Message----- From: John Reid [mailto:JREID@novell.com] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 3:25 PM To: xliff-comment@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: [xliff-comment] Determining what <note> elements refer to Hi John, It's good to hear from you, again. You wrote: "... However in <trans-unit> elements, the only way to determine whether a <note> refers to the <source> or the <target> is to rely on some convention for the 'from' attribute. ..." Please, can you elaborate on how you see this being utilized? The 1.1 spec says, "All child elements of <trans-unit> pertain to their sibling <source> element" Thus, a strict reading of this says any <note> in a <trans-unit> pertains to the <source>. Unless there is consideration to programmatically differentiate between notes relating to the <source> or <target>, exclusive of the other, there seems to be little advantage of adding the attribute. You wrote: "Are there any plans to produce a standardized skeleton file format in future releases?" There is a usefulness, if not a necessity, for this in the context of the profiles we wish to specify. In other words, a standardization of the skeleton file for files of the same file type, makes perfect sense. However, a standard skeleton file format could be impossible across file types. For example, the skeleton files generated for a DLL file must be remarkably different from those produced for an HTML file. However, it would be advantageous to create a standard skeleton format for HTML, another for DLLs, and others for those formats we specify profiles for. cheers, JohnR To unsubscribe from this list, send a post to xliff-comment-unsubscribe@lists.oasis-open.org.
