Hi,
I'm not sure whether that's a bug in the example or a feature of XLIFF
1.2's new segmentation model. I know people that considered this a
feature and implemented segmentation removing spaces between segments.
In any case, this should be either corrected for XLIFF 2.0 or clearly
explained in the specification document.
Best regards,
Rodolfo
