I think the fact that the solution is not XSL friendly is just a side effect of the fact that the solution requires an XML hack. Sorry if this is worded too strongly. But if we use an XML vocabulary for our Localization Interchange File Format; and if our use case has XML source as its source; and if we say the way we recommend you store your source XML is to escape it; then it seems to me that we are prescribing an XML "no no" as a best practice.

I don't blame people for rolling their eyes and saying "here he goes again." I guess if I'm the only one who finds this distasteful, I must be in the minority. And maybe I should just stop complaining. I guess the real test is to see if members of our community care one way or the other. I kind of feel like I'm representing people who see a need (for example) to include XLIFF in things like the DITA OT. XML friendliness is needed in cases like that.

That said, I could certainly hold my nose and make the <data id="222">&lt;img src="big-happy-smile.jpg"></data> approach work in XSL. And I could adapt my DITA-XLIFF Roundtrip for the DITA OT (for example) work okay. So luckily for me, it is just a philosophical gripe.

Thanks for putting up with my semi-annual XML friendliness rants.

">" doesn't need to be escaped in XML.
