Re: [xliff] size-unit - proposal
Enda's proposal seems reasonable. One question though: How do in-line tags 
affect these sizes. In other words, if we have bolded text represented in the 
source document, thusly,

 

<p>This is <b>bold</b> text.</p>

 

(33 characters including the p tags), and it is in the xliff as

 

<source>This is <g id="1" ctype="bold">bold</g> 
text.</source>

 

(46 characters between the source tags), and there is a limit of 32 
characters for the string, aren't we already over the limit with the <g> 
tag? Or is the g tag somehow calculated to be only the size of what it 
replaces? 

 

My preference would be to say the inline tags are not included in the 
sizing but they may not be realistic for everyone.

 

cheers,

john
