RE: [xliff] ref value in translation candidates module element <mtc:match>

Hi Rodolfo,

>I would differentiate

applies to the whole segment

Yes, I understand
the idea. What I'm not sure is, as I mentioned in my previous message,
<segment> is a container of <source> and <target>. It
makes sense to point to <source> alone (or <target> alone)
to specify relevant text for a match candidate. But if it points to <segment>
and if the segment has both <source> and <target>, then suddenly
it becomes ambiguous.
If we can point <source>
or <target>, then it makes more sense, but <source>/<target>
cannot have "id".

If we will refine
the specification, and if we really want to allow segment can be referenced
directly, then we should explain the semantics. In other words:

<mtc:matches>
<mtc:matchid="tu1"ref="#s1"similarity="65">
<source>Please
check the output.</source>
<target>Veuillez
vérifier la sortie.</target>
</mtc:match>
</mtc:matches>
<segmentid="s1">
<source>Please
check the results.</source>
<target>Veuillez
vérifier les résultats.</target>
</segment>

Above is equivalent
to 

<mtc:matchid="tu1"ref="#m1"similarity="65">
<source>Please
check the output.</source>
<target>Veuillez
vérifier la sortie.</target>
</mtc:match>
</mtc:matches>
<segmentid="s1">
<source><mrkid="m1"type="mtc:match">Please
check the results.</mrk></source>
<target>Veuillez
vérifier les résultats.</target>
</segment>

or

<mtc:matches>
<mtc:matchid="tu1"ref="#m1"similarity="65">
<source>Please
check the output.</source>
<target>Veuillez
vérifier la sortie.</target>
</mtc:match>
</mtc:matches>
<segmentid="s1">
<source>Please
check the results.</source>
<target><mrkid="m1"type="mtc:match">Veuillez
vérifier les résultats.</mrk></target>
</segment>

or something else.
