Perhaps we should separate generated from processed. The part
that deals with processed could be something like:

   XLIFF is a format explicitly designed for exchanging data. Thus, a
   conformant XLIFF application MUST be able to accept XLIFF files it
   generated after those XLIFF files have been processed by a different
   tool, provided that: a) processed files are conformant XLIFF
   documents and b) any custom extension added by the originating tool
   has been preserved.

At first, I agree with your proposal. It would make the b) part of the
proposal I wrote above unnecessary. However, I'm not sure about this.

Rodolfo
