Open issues
<bin-unit> - John had sent a proposal on the
<bin-unit> issue which Enda commented on in a follow up mail.
The issue of rid
having two different purposes depending on what element it was an attribute of
was raised.
It was proposed that
a new attribute, 'xid', be added
to all inline elements which references the id in the trans-unit and
bin-unit. Proposed by John and seconded by David
This was carried by
11 votes for, 1 against and 1 abstention
Feature creep - Tony raised the issue of feature creep and how we are
managing this. He suggested that we should make decision on the final few issues
and try and resolve them now rather than leaving for a future
meeting.
Extension namespace - Shigimichi has been doing some
research on this issue. The motion was proposed to change the extension point
from 'other' to 'any'. This would allow you to have XLIFF as an extension
proposed by
Christian and seconded by Yves
This was carried by
5 votes for, 2 against and 3 abstentions
Consolidated attribute value lists - John led a discussion on this topic,
indicating that Option 1 is pretty much what we have in the present
proposal, Option 2 is the preferred method but John was unable to
implement, and Option 3 is what more or less what Gerard suggested in his
proposal. The TC agreed that Option 2 is the best solution, and
Bryan Schnabel agreed to research and find the appropriate XSD If this
solution is not found, then it was agreed to fall back to Option
1.
Phases of Alt-Trans: (item 20) : No formal
proposal has been put forth. Members of the TC will have until next
Tuesday to submit formal proposals for discussion. If no formal proposal
is adopted by the next meeting, the item will be automatically deferred
from consideration for XLIFF 1.1.
Attribute Values List (item 21): Tony will update the list
with reivsions received from John Reid and for Oracle submitted values.
The revised list will be distributed to the TC by end of the week, discussion by
email is encouraged, and the TC should be prepared to vote on individual
attribute values lists (ie, vote on restype list, vote on datatype
list) next week.
Schedule: dates for everything will be
pushed out by an additional week, e.g., Release Candidate 1 spec will be
released on the 26th...
No new business was
raised.
Meetng was adjourned due to completing the
agenda.
