> The Locale filter data category is listed in two places:
> - In section "5.9.9.3 Locale Filter" as a data category that is not used in
> XLIFF
> - In section "5.9.6.3 Locale Filter" as a data category defined in the ITS
> module
> I understand the reasoning behind this: If you have a source file with Locale
> Filter you can either A) create an XLIFF where only
> the relevant data are extracted, or B) create an XLIFF file with the ITS
> metadata.
> But I think it is highly confusing to list the data category in both sections.
> If Locale Filter attributes can be used in XLIFF then we should have only
> section 5.9.6.3. We should also have some text at the top
> of that section that basically says something like:
> - The best way to extract a source file that uses Locale Filter is to create an
> XLIFF file for each target locale with just the
> relevant content.
> [This *by far* the recommended option: in the real world very few XLIFF tools
> will be able to deal with that data category.]
> - However, one can also use Locale Filter in XLIFF, and here is how you would do
> it... [and have the rest of the current section]
