I played with the online validator
a little bit.

I found something interesting case.
Here is the minimal case illustrating the case I found:

===
<xliffxmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:2.0"version="2.0"srcLang="en">
<fileid="f1">
<unitid="u1">
<segmentid="s1">
<source></source>
</segment>
</unit>
</file>
</xliff>
===

The validator returns an error for
this XLIFF file with error message: Reason: Empty <source> element

I read XLIFF specification and checks
whether empty text in <source> element is really invalid. I could
not find such description. Can someone point out why empty <source>
element is invalid?
