Subject: RE: [xliff] Seg-source and source differences
Hi Yves, Rodolfo, all, Aren't we looking at at least three different questions? 1. Is the example correct? 2. Are segmentation processes allowed to apply something that could be termed "normalization"? Example: In XML elements, multiple whitespaces get collapsed to a single one. 3. Which "guidance" should be given to users or systems with respect to the existence of "seg-source"? Sample "guidance": Check if "seg-source(s)" and "source" are identical. a. if "no", do ... b. if "yes", do ... I am tempted to say that we could consider separate "answers" for the individual questions. The simplest one - pertaining to 1.: We correct the example.

Maybe we need more processing descriptions in 2.0? Hi, I'm not sure whether that's a bug in the example or a feature of XLIFF 1.2's new segmentation model. I know people that considered this a feature and implemented segmentation removing spaces between segments. In any case, this should be either corrected for XLIFF 2.0 or clearly explained in the specification document. Best regards, Rodolfo -- Rodolfo M.
