Hi Tony,

 

You've done an excellent job updating the schema.  Thank you very much for all you've done.

 

I tested and validated the schema, and I tested and validated the two samples.  Things look very sound from an XML point of view.

 

I noticed you changed the "Sample_AlmostEverything_1.2.xlf" file to refer to a schema location that is hard-coded to an absolute path:

 

xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2

file:///c:/xliff/xliff-core-1.2-draft/xliff-core-schema-1.2.xsd"

^^^^

 

I think the sample would be better if it referenced a relative path, at the same level as the file, like this:

 

xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2

xliff-core-schema-1.2.xsd"

 

This made it easier to validate for me.  I also validated several of my voluminous XLIFF files.  They worked just fine.

 

As far as the schema updates, they all look fine to me.  The changes I could spot had to do with adding "seg" and "seg-source" elements, adding the  "merged-trans" attribute, and adding 1.2 to the AttrType_Version type definition.  It all looks correct to me.

 

I hope in the next few days I can introduce the new elements and attribute into my samples for further validation.

 

Thanks for all you've done,

 

Bryan

Hi all:

 

I've attached the draft XLIFF 1.2 spec to this email.  There were a lot more modifications than I had expected so instead of voting on it in a ballot we need to first review it,  and if its ready we can vote on it live in the next TC meeting.

 

It's important that you have a good lok at the spec, the XSD and the sample files.  I've also generated a DTD from the XSD (automatically using a shrinkwrapped XML IDE) and its included in the ZIP file.  If we intend to deliver a 1.2 DTD with our spec then it should be reviewed carefullly as well.  I don't think we published a 1.1 DTD,  and please correct me if I'm misinformed, so your comments about its relevance are encouraged.

 

 

Regards,

Tony
