Subject: RE: [xliff] Proposal for ballots on: Extensibility in XLIFF 2.0


Hi Christian,

 

My definition in this context is:

’third party extension’ – any extension not specified or created by the XLIFF TC.

 

‘extension’ - any added functionality that do not exist in the XLIFF core specification or that  re-implement in a different way functionality already in the XLIFF core specification.

 

Regards,

Fredrik Estreen

Hi Fredrik,

 

I would need a definition for “third party extension” in order to cast a vote.

 

Cheers,

Christian

Subject: [xliff] Proposal for ballots on: Extensibility in XLIFF 2.0

 

Hi All,

 

as discussed earlier in the week I propose two ballots to decide the overall direction for third party extensibility of XLIFF 2.0. I’m looking for a second of these proposed votes.

 

First ballot:

Shall we allow any third party extensions in XLIFF 2.0?

* 'Yes' for extensibility by some means

* 'No' for no extensibility at all

* 'Abstain' for need of more discussion

 

Second ballot to be held only if the result of the first was ‘Yes’:

What general method(s) do we want to allow for third party extensions?

* 'Elements' for extensibility by elements and attributes defined in the XLIFF specification. An example of this method is the proposed <metaHolder> feature.

* 'Namespaces' for extensibility by allowing third party namespaces at defined locations in the XLIFF documents. As we do in XLIFF 1.2 possibly with additional requirements for conformance and processing expectations.

* 'Elements and Namespaces’ to use both of the above methods to facilitate extensibility.

* 'Abstain' for need of more discussion

 

Once we have decided if and how we want extensibility we can proceed to work out the technical details.

 

Regards,

Fredrik Estreen
