Re: [xliff] [xliff-inline] Representing information for the starting/ending/standalone parts
Hi Frederik,

      

      No problemo - we can extend <x/> in the same way is
      <itag>.

Hi,

        
 

        
I
            don’t see how using only <g> and <x/> would be a
            step forward for non XML source formats. Unless the
            <x> tag is greatly extended with additional attributes
            like the <itag> that was proposed for TMX 2.0.
            Consider this old style HTML example:

        
 

        
This
            <b> is traditional <i>HTML</b> with
            overlap</i>.

        
 

        
It
            can of course be tagged using <x> tags but we then
            lose all information on the pairing of the native codes like
            this:

        
 

        
This
            <x id=”1” /> is traditional <x id=”2”
            />HTML<x id=”3” /> with overlap<x id=”4” />.

        
 

        
Using
            <g> is not possible since the result would not be XML.

        
 

        
Regards,

I wasn't arguing to use <itag>, but
          rather to look at it for anything useful that might help.

Hi
                  Arle,

                  

                  Of Rodolfo's stunning brilliance I have no
                doubt, but on reflection my personal choice would not be
                to invent yet another element when we already have
                <g> and <x/>. Everyone involved with XLIFF
                knows what these are and what they mean and they have
                the added benefit of being backwards compatible with all
                versions of XLIFF and even OpenTag.

              

                
 

                
Best
                    Regards,
