ballot proposal - conformance criteria and processing requirements in xliff 2.0

Hi all,

This is a proposed ballot intended to effectively close the
pitched debate from the face-to-face.

I propose that this ballot is performed immediately after
roll-call today.

 

Some explanations:

-         
Conformance criteria are not *the* conformance
clause. The formal conformance clause should be constructed as referring to
conformance *criteria* specified throughout the whole spec.

-         
Well-formedness is a first level conformance requirement
similar to logical and mathematical calculi, usually given as inductive
definition.

-         
Provenance is not a methodological *principle*
and IMHO should not be referred to in this charter-like ballot. Nevertheless, provenance
is a likely *means* to achieve 2.

-         
I do not address modularity, as the ballot would become
too complicated. Nevertheless, the below formulations are intended as conform
with the minimal and modular approach..

 

Title of the ballot: *conformance criteria and processing
requirements in xliff 2.0*

 

TC sets as the following methodological principles for XLIFF
2.0 re conformance and processing:

1.      
Each element and data type must be accompanied by
clearly specified conformance criteria

2.      
Conformance criteria must be binary, i.e. satisfied or
failed, no shades of grey or levels of support.

3.      
Conformance criteria must include well-formedness and
processing requirements

4.      
Processing requirements must be defined in terms of well-formedness
and specific allowed values of elements and data types before and after
processing.  

 

 

Thanks for your attention
