Title: Message
John, when you describe the finished state,
are you referring to binary data, such as resources that may not have any text,
but nonetheless may require some adaptation or non-text localization? resources
that have both text and binary information, but indicating state of binary data
rather than text?
Thanks,

[xliff] Re: a case for "finished" as a valid value for
state
I have no problem with this. However, it might be good
to consolidate the two concepts of "finished" and "signed-off" so that 1 state
says if work on a trans-unit is completed. I have no other suggestion for this,
though.

please post this on my behalf? I'll try (again) to fix my email account
with OASIS, thanks]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although "finished" is described as a "workflow state" in the current
specification, I propose that "finished" should remain a pre-defined value for
state.
In my XLIFF application, the state of "translated" is suitable for targets
that have been translated. The state of "signed-off" could indicate a definite
reviewed/completion status. But I have targets that are not candidates for
translation, and have not been "translated," and are not yet "signed-off," but
are indeed "finished."
The state of finished is not accurately described by any of the other values
in the list, from my point of view.
I'm not passionate about this, but I thought I'd pass along my thoughts.
Thanks,
Bryan
