Sentence for conformance clause on XLIFF 2.1 draft

[Felix Sasaki <felix@sasakiatcf.com>]

Dear all,


the ITS module needs a conformance section. Below is a proposal. Feel free to comment. David will then put that in the XLIFF 2.1 draft.

Best,

Felix


Conformance of the ITS Module

Note (non normative): Some ITS data categories like ITS „Translate“ are supported natively by XLIFF. Other data categories are not supported by XLIFF because they are focusing on source content and not XLIFF content. The below conformance statement is only relevant for data categories for which the usage in XLIFF 2.1 is normatively defined in the XLIFF 2.1 ITS Module.

An implementation of the ITS Module needs to implement at least one of the ITS 2.0 data categories for which the usage in XLIFF 2.1 is normatively defined in the ITS Module. Like in the ITS 2.0 specification, there is no interrelation between data categories. The implementation MUST take into account the processing expectations for ITS markup, as defined in the ITS 2.0 specification (link to https://www.w3.org/TR/its20/#conformance-product-processing-expectations) , that is, the conformance clauses 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 and 2-4 in the ITS 2.0 specifications.
