Subject: RE: [xliff] Localization Note vs <note>


I kind of agree with you Felix.

One can very likely have ITS rules that make XLIFF notes usable by a ITS processor (e.g. having the selector point to the source
and/or target, etc.), but I don't think we can make the XLIFF notes behave to match the ITS LocNote semantics.

Hi Yves and all,

from what you write it seems it does not make sense to use ITS Localization Note in XLIFF directly. The inheritance semantics just
does not map. In the XLIFF 2.1 spec, probably all one can give is guidance to extractors how to deal with ITS notes in e.g. HTML or
XML, but in the XLIFF spec only have the XLIFF core note.

Best,

Felix
