Tony,

The spaces around the ‘|’ have been removed in the attached schema.

Hi Bryan and Doug:

As the editors of the XLIFF XSD's, could you guys please have a look at this email from Asgeir and figure out if we need to revise the XSD or otherwise address the issue? Input from the TC is encouraged. It seems clear cut but I didn't want to introduce any problems by editing without consulting your expertise.

Doug's been the most recent schema editor, so we should maintain continuity at this stage of the game unless he's unavailable.

Many thanks to Asgeir for his input...

Thanks,

Tony

Subject: XLIFF 1.2 Schema(s) xpath expression issue

Hi Tony,

A small issue in the XLIFF 1.2 schema that causes some issues when

validating the schema itself:

(Starting from line 2030 in strict, 2051 in transitional)

<xsd:keyref name="KR_tu_segsrc_mid" refer="xlf:U_tu_segsrc_mid">

<xsd:selector xpath="./xlf:target/xlf:mrk | ./xlf:alt-trans"/>

<xsd:field xpath="@mid"/>

</xsd:keyref>

The regular expression for the xpath attribute is according to the XML

Schema xsd:

(\.//)?(((child::)?((\i\c*:)?(\i\c*|\*)))|\.)(/(((child::)?((\i\c*:)?(\i\c*|\*)))|\.))*(\|(\.//)?(((child::)?((\i\c*:)?(\i\c*|\*)))|\.)(/(((child::)?((\i\c*:)?(\i\c*|\*)))|\.))*)*

It seems that unlike other xpath expressions, the spec does not allow

spaces between operators like '|'. Hence, the above xpath expression

should have the spaces between '|' removed (as it is in all other

occurrences in the XLIFF schema).

cheers,

asgeir
