Enda moved to accept, David 2nd

 

 

3/Review Open 
Issues in the tracking report: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200301/msg00035.html

 

  1-- Issue 6 is the only open 
issue: There are 6 options previously discussed. 1-4 based on Mat's 
proposals, 5 Doug's proposal, 6 Yves's proposal to defer to a future 
release. Option 5 was discussed. Shigemichi and G廨ard discussed 
compatibility issues for 1.0 parsers and the ramifications of the change: 1.0 
only had "yes" or "no" with a default of "yes". Thus, the parser may only look 
for "no" values. It would not discover those of "font". Mat then suggested that 
the list of values for reformat be left open using the "x-" mechanism. 
However, the opinion that any extended attribute from another 
namespace wass that namespaces responsibility. Enda also pointed out that the 
extended value would have the form "x-namespace:attribute", which is rather 
cumbersome. Mat conceded the point. Tony called for a vote for the proposals 
(Option 5 was only for the mechanism and not of the actual values), Mat 2nd. 
Each member chose their preferred option in a role-call vote. The results are: 
option 4, 1 vote; option 5, 11 votes; 1 abstain.

  2- The values for reformat was then discussed. Doug read the values 
proposed in his proposal (option 5). There was a discussion about adding color 
but it was generally felt that this could be too problematic. There was a 
discusson about css-style and if that didn't extend the values. It was 
pointed out that since this only says the css-style attribute can be reformated 
and does not specify what in that attribute can be reformatted, it was not an 
extension of reformat values. Tony called the role-call vote and the values as 
proposed by Doug was approved unanimously.

  3- Mat introduced a new issue based on an earlier email: Since the 
resname attribute can have whitespace it should not be a nmtoken as it is in the 
schema/DTD. There was some discussion about whether this nneeded to be decided 
by the TC. It was decided that this was a bug of the schema/DTD and should be 
corrected without any action of the TC.

 

ACTION ITEM: Editor to modify the spec accordingly.

 

 

4/Schedule of remaining work 

  
Release Candidate on Feb. 5
Allow two meetings 
  discussion of spec changes.
Feb 19 target date

5/ Carried over from last week:  
Discussion and response to recent xliff-comment regarding resizing of RC type 
data within XLIFF - http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff-comment/200212/msg00000.html .  This query relates to Mat's "reformat" issue 
(issue # 6).  Do we need to communicate the 
solution per Issue 6 with Mr. Tsepalov?

There was some discussion between Mr. Tsepalov and Yves. Since Mr. 
Tsepalov has not responded recently it is assumed no action neds to be taken by 
the TC.

6/Any New Business

 1- John brought up the discussion between himself and Yves 
concerning the origin, tu-state, and state attributes. 

ACTION ITEM: John will propose a solution for this.

  2- Yves brought up the incompatibility with 1.0 of forcing an 
order on the elements, as was done in 1.1. John proposed that we rescind the 
decision and recommend in the sppec the order specified. Yves 2nd. Role-call 
vote was unanimous approval of the proposal.

ACTION ITEM: Editor to modify the spec accordingly.

  3- Doug pointed out that the latest version of the schema has 
an encoding problem.

ACTION ITEM: Yves will investigate.

7/Next meeting - Tues,  4
