RE: [xliff] XLIFF 1.2 Draft
Title: Message

Hi 
Tony,

 

You've 
done an excellent job updating the schema.  Thank you very much for all 
you've done.

 

I 
tested and validated the schema, and I tested and validated the two 
samples.  Things look very sound from an XML point of 
view.

 

I 
noticed you changed the "Sample_AlmostEverything_1.2.xlf" file to refer to a 
schema location that is hard-coded to an absolute path:

 

xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2 

file:///c:/xliff/xliff-core-1.2-draft/xliff-core-schema-1.2.xsd"

^^^^

 

I 
think the sample would be better if it referenced a relative path, at the same 
level as the file, like this:

 

xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2 

xliff-core-schema-1.2.xsd"

 

This 
made it easier to validate for me.  I also validated several of my 
voluminous XLIFF files.  They worked just fine.

 

As far 
as the schema updates, they all look fine to me.  The changes I could spot 
had to do with adding "seg" and "seg-source" 
elements, adding the  "merged-trans" attribute, and adding 1.2 to the 
AttrType_Version type definition.  It all looks correct to 
me.

 

I hope 
in the next few days I can introduce the new elements and attribute into my 
samples for further validation.

 

Thanks 
for all you've done,

 

Bryan

  Draft

  
Hi all: 
  

  
 

  
I've attached the 
  draft XLIFF 1.2 spec to this email.  There were a lot more modifications 
  than I had expected so instead of voting on it in a ballot we need to first 
  review it,  and if its ready we can vote on it live in the next TC 
  meeting.

  
 

  
It's important 
  that you have a good lok at the spec, the XSD and the sample 
  files.  I've also generated a DTD from the XSD (automatically using a 
  shrinkwrapped XML IDE) and its included in the ZIP file.  If we intend to 
  deliver a 1.2 DTD with our spec then it should be reviewed carefullly as 
  well.  I don't think we published a 1.1 DTD,  and please correct me 
  if I'm misinformed, so your comments about its relevance are 
  encouraged.

  
 

  
 

  
Regards,

  
Tony
