Re: [xliff] Working on the Specification Updates

I've just two quick points in response
to John's mail: 'self' might be an alternate possibility instead of 'this-file'
for the origin attribute and with regard to the state attribute of <target>,
should all of the values not be in lower case, in line with our recommendation.

Subject	Re: [xliff] Working on the Specification Updates

Hi Yves, et al,
 
- My point about section 3.2.2 also relates to #8 where
I suggest a  resectioning of the elements. There are other named groups
than those listed and  it doesn't really need to be a separate section
(IMO). My #8 point is "I've  never liked the order I gave the
spec." This is not important but I do  think it could be
reordered a bit, if you agree.
 
- I guess the origin attribute would be enumerated with
the 'this-file'  attribute value. Maybe this isn't such a good idea?
Can you think of a way to  implement this concept?
 
- I had suggested the tu-state attribute with  values "needs-translation",
"needs-review", "needs-resizing",  "translation-approved", and
"sizing-approved" be added to  <trans-unit>. There
could be multiple values. I don't like tu-state but I  think it was
approved. 
 
- The above naming was suggested to distinguish it from
the state attribute  of the <target>. The  'TM-Suggestion',
'MT Suggestion',  'Rejected-Inaccurate', 'Rejected-Spelling', 'Rejected-Grammar',
 'Rejected-Length' values were approved for the state attribute.
 
- Maybe we should clarify this better in the meeting ...
Should  <trans-unit> have the state attribute with "translation-approved" and
 "sizing-approved" values added? Should a different attribute
be added to  <target> with the suggested values? Would this
make more sense?
 
- How is 'kenavo' pronounced?
 
cheers,
john
