csprd02 comment: XLIFF as a processing format for CAT tools

["Schnabel, Bryan S" <bryan.s.schnabel@tektronix.com>]

I am worried that the statement that XLIFF is only intended for data exchange could endanger tools that use XLIFF as native format.

Writer, Writer Agent:

"Note
Since XLIFF is intended as an exchange format rather than a processinmg format, many applications will need to generate XLIFF Documents from their internal processing formats, even in cases when they are processing XLIFF Documents created by another Extractor."

Can this language be recast in order to encourage CAT tools to still use XLIFF as a native format?

Thanks,

Bryan
