Hi John,

To answer one of your question:

The latest version of the specification to refere to is ALWAYS:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xliff/documents/xliff-specification.htm
(no date). The ones with date are there for history (same mechanism as for
W3C specifications). Obviously in same case you may want to refer to a
specific version.

The change versions are also normaly indicated in the "Changes Since
Previous Version" appendix. In this case the change between 20030522 and
20030625 is a correction in the XSD file (we had a duplicated entries
"pageheader" for the datatype values, it needed to be one "pageheader" and
one "pagefooter"). Since the attributes values are also listed in the
specification (automatically generated from the XSD file), it had to be
updated too.

Good luck at your dentist (I went through that yesterday :)

Kenavo,
