Subject: RE: [xliff-inline] Inline codes properties


Hi Yves and Christian,

I must admit my temptation goes the other way. I'd rather not overload the XLIFF with non-XLIFF, non-translation data. My bias is that the transformation tool should bear the burden of managing the format, not the localization interchange file.

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi Yves,

Thanks for the explanation.

I am tempted to say

	New codes should always provide native data

Rationale

	If only a substitute is used (e.g. 'bold' in <g ctype='bold'>),
	additional processing (e.g. derivation of native format such
	as HTML with CSS) may not work too well.

Cheers,
Christian

Should we allow <g ctype='bold'> as a new code? A code which does not have an actual native data associated with (because it's new), but just the information about what it represents.

Or should new codes always provide the native data? -> <bpt ctype='bold'>&lt;b></bpt>
