=== 3/ XLIFF 2.0 (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/FeatureTracking)

--- 1. Features proposed and seconded between meetings via mailing list, and features mentioned
 
a. Proposed and seconded: (B25) Preserve metadata without using extensibility
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/FeatureTracking#XLIFF2.0.2BAC8-Feature.2BAC8-PreserveXMLattributeormetadatawithoutextensibility.A.28B25.29Preservemetadatawithoutusingextensibility

Bryan: goal is to preserve metadata
Without using extensibility
Bryan describes his proposal
Rodolfo: proposal is fine to store metadata in most place.
But where to put this? File, unit, segment, match, etc.

Rodolfo: Dataset maybe
Fredrik: those data should have no requirements (change, etc.)
Rodolfo: yes, the data has meaning just for the application that adds it.
Yves: not sure how big bag of data is interoperable
Fredrik: should not be for main features
Bryan: cannot anticipate all type of metadata
Joachim: fear that it would be used by tools to put info that are vital for document
Why would such data could not be done using module?
Rodolfo: custom extension were expected to be updated
Here those element are not to be maintain/updated by other tools per XLIFF specification
Fredrik: can't stop a tool who want to be non-conformant to be non-conformant.
See the need for this bag
Standardized stuff would have specific modules
But also need to have such bag for non-standard stuff
Bryan: can't say what will go in this container.
Rodolfo/Fredrik: using namespace for this is restrictive.
Yves: seems to be a step back. Back to 1.0 <prop>
Rodolfo: correct.
Bryan: community doesn't want extensibility
Ingo: those data could be out of date and may need to be updated by the original tool.
Worried that we'll have hard time to port exiting extensions
Fredrik: we want to limit what other tools are required to do with other tools' extensions
We want to increase interoperability
Rodolfo: and have a bag for 'other things'

Discussion to be continued online
