RE: [xliff] XLIFF 1.2 Draft
Title: Message

Hi 
Bryan: 

Thanks for the feedback. The URI 
for the schema pointing to the file:///blahblah ..  location was a 
typo.  Good work finding this problem! - it must have been introduced by 
one of the tools I used to validate the sample file. I'll fix this in the next draft,  to be 
distributed before the next teleconference.

 

By the way, you didn't mention the "equiv-trans" 
attribute - I assume you were not reporting on all diffs,  just the ones 
you ran across in your review?  There's a section at the end of the 
spec that iterates through all the modification since last 
spec...

 

Regards,

Tony

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

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
