RE: [xliff] Validation and rule overriding

[Yves Savourel <ysavourel@enlaso.com>]

And yet another question:

How is the overriding applied?
Is the old rule removed and the new one added or is the old rule replaced by the new one?

For example given:

<file ...>
<val:validation>
 <val:rule isPresent="rule1"/>
 <val:rule isPresent="rule2"/>
</val:validation>
...
<unit ...>
<val:validation>
 <val:rule isPresent="rule3"/>
 <val:rule isPresent="rule2" occurs="10"/>
 <val:rule isPresent="rule1" caseSensitive="no"/>
</val:validation>

Is the effective list of rules for the unit:

<val:rule isPresent="rule3"/>
<val:rule isPresent="rule2" occurs="10"/>
<val:rule isPresent="rule1" caseSensitive="no"/>

Or

<val:rule isPresent="rule1" caseSensitive="no"/>
<val:rule isPresent="rule2" occurs="10"/>
<val:rule isPresent="rule3"/>

This matter because the resulting order is different and may lead to different results if you want to compare the errors returned by
the processor.

My current interpretation is that 'overriding' means replace, so we end up with the second result.
Is that correct?

Subject: [xliff] Validation and rule overriding

One more question about validation:

We have the following processing requirement:

[[
- When the <validation> element occurs at the <file> level, rules MUST be applied to all <target> elements within the scope of that
<file> element, except where overrides are specified at the <group> or <unit> level.

- When <validation> occurs at the <group> level, rules MUST be applied to all <target> elements within the scope of that <group>,
except where overrides are specified in a nested <group> element, or at the <unit> level.

- When <validation> occurs at the <unit> level, rules MUST be applied to all <target> elements within the scope of that <unit>.
]]

There is an example of overriding a rule in a few places, but what about rules within the same <validation> element?

Based on the PR above no overriding mechanism applies within the <validation> element, is that correct?
So for example if I have:

<unit ...>
<val:validation>
 <val:rule isPresent="abc"/>
 <val:rule isPresent="abc" caseSensitive="no"/>  <val:rule isPresent="abc" normalization="none"/> </val:validation>

I end up for that unit with 3 distinct rules and need to check for "abc" in target
- after normalizing to NFC and not in case-sensitive mode.
- after normalizing to NFC and in case-sensitive mode.
- after not normalizing and not in case-sensitive mode.

But if I have:

<file ...>
<val:validation>
 <val:rule isPresent="abc"/>
 <val:rule isPresent="abc" caseSensitive="no"/>  <val:rule isPresent="abc" normalization="none"/> </val:validation> ...
<unit ...>
<val:validation>
 <val:rule isPresent="abc" normalization="NFD"/> </val:validation>

I end up for that unit with a single rule (or maybe three identical overridden rules):
- after normalizing to NFD and in cases-sensitive mode.

Is that correct?
