Groups - XLIFF TC Meeting (XLIFF 2.0 focus) added

Happy New Year to all! Here's the agenda for Tuesday's meeting.  I added a
potentially loaded item:

   3/ Start of the year alignment notes for XLIFF
    A. Bryan proposes taking XLIFF 1.2.1 only as far as Public Review, 
         then turn 100% to XLIFF 2.0

I will send a note to the list explaining why I think this would be a
positive step.

I think it would not be bad if we spent a good deal of time discussing the
alignment (reexamine our goals and priorities) for this first-of-the-year
meeting.

Looking forward to *seeing* you all on Tuesday.

Bryan

      out-of-the-box feature for all of their out-of-the-box DTDs and schemas

      advantage to the first company to do this.
