RE: [xliff-comment] csprd01-17: Structure and Structural Elements: <sm> <em> justification

Thanks for the suggestions Jörg. I'll work on integrating them into the existing text (for example there is a full section on splitting annotation we can refer to).

I don't think we shoukd add the text above though. It is not just strongly recommend to not use custom mechanism: it is strictly forbidden.
See
http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/csprd01/xliff-core-v2.0-csprd01.html#d0e7685

We can't keep saying for every single feature of the spec: "use this mechanism not a custom one". If it is not clear in the current document then it should be put in red capital letter at the top of the specification. It's valid for all XLIFF 2.0 constructs.
Maybe in the http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/csprd01/xliff-core-v2.0-csprd01.html#d0e497 section.

But at the same time I'm not sure why this requirement should be stronger than another: a MUST is a MUST.

Cheers,
