XLIFF 2.0 example files for segmentation

It is easier for me to understand the situation if I have an example to reference.

Here is a simple Java PropertyResourceBundle file to be used as the original source file.

string1=First sentence.\nSecond sentence.\nThird\nsentence.

string2=The user <b>{0}</b> deleted file {1}.  File {1} cannot be recovered.

A product developer might create an extraction program to create this XLIFF 2.0 file.
Note: I included a "segment" attribute to document how the <source> text was "segmented".

Without <segment>.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xliff version="2.0" segment="block">

  <file srclang="en" original="test.properties">

    <unit id="string1">

      <source>First sentence.

Second sentence.

Third

sentence.</source>

    </unit>

    <unit id="string2">

      <source>The user <pc id="1><ph id="2"/></pc> deleted file <ph id="3"/>.  File <ph id="3"/> cannot be recovered.</source>

    </unit>

  </file>

</xliff>

With <segment>.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xliff version="2.0" segment="block">

  <file srclang="en" original="test.properties">

    <unit id="string1">

      <segment id="1">

        <source>First sentence.

  Second sentence.

  Third

  sentence.</source>

      </segment>

    </unit>

    <unit id="string2">

      <segment id="1">

        <source>The user <pc id="1><ph id="2"/></pc> deleted file <ph id="3"/>.  File <ph id="3"/> cannot be recovered.</source>

      </segment>

    </unit>

  </file>

</xliff>

A translation tool may modify the file to segment the text based on sentences.  The translated file might be the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xliff version="2.0" segment="sentence">

  <file srclang="en" tgtlang="es" original="test.properties">

    <unit id="string1">

      <segment id="1">

        <source>First sentence.</source>

        <target>Primera frase.</target>

      </segment>

      <ignorable id="2">

        <source>

</source>

        <target>

</target>

      </ignorable>

      <segment id="3">

        <source>Second sentence.</source>

        <target>La segunda frase.</target>

      </segment>

      <ignorable id="4">

        <source>

</source>

        <target>

</target>

      </ignorable>

      <segment id="5">

        <source>Third

sentence.</source>

        <target>La tercera

frase.</target>

      </segment>

    </unit>

    <unit id="string2">

      <segment id="1">

        <source>The user <pc id="1"><ph id="2"/></pc> deleted file <ph id="3"/>.</source>

        <target>El <pc id="1"><ph id="2"/></pc> usuario eliminado <ph id="3"/> archivo.</target>

      </segment>

      <ignorable id="2">

        <source>  </source>

        <target> </target>

      </ignorable>

      <segment id="3">

        <source>File <ph id="3"/> cannot be recovered.</source>

        <target><ph id="3"/> archivo no se puede recuperar.</target>

      </segment>

    </unit>

  </file>

</xliff>

The product developer would expect to get this translated file back after translation, which maps to the version of the XLIFF file which he sent out for translation.

Without <segment>.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xliff version="2.0" segment="block">

  <file srclang="en" tgtlang="es" original="test.properties">

    <unit id="string1">

      <source>First sentence.

Second sentence.

Third

sentence.</source>

      <target>Primera frase.

La segunda frase.

La tercera

frase.</target>

    </unit>

    <unit id="string2">

      <source>The user <pc id="1><ph id="2"/></pc> deleted file <ph id="3"/>.  File <ph id="3"/> cannot be recovered.</source>

      <target>El <pc id="1"><ph id="2"/></pc> usuario eliminado <ph id="3"/> archivo. <ph id="3"/> archivo no se puede recuperar.</target>

    </unit>

  </file>

</xliff>

With <segment>.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xliff version="2.0" segment="block">

  <file srclang="en" tgtlang="es" original="test.properties">

    <unit id="string1">

      <segment id="1">

        <source>First sentence.

Second sentence.

Third

sentence.</source>

        <target>Primera frase.

La segunda frase.

La tercera

frase.</target>

      </segment>

    </unit>

    <unit id="string2">

      <segment id="1">

        <source>The user <pc id="1><ph id="2"/></pc> deleted file <ph id="3"/>.  File <ph id="3"/> cannot be recovered.</source>

        <target>El <pc id="1"><ph id="2"/></pc> usuario eliminado <ph id="3"/> archivo. <ph id="3"/> archivo no se puede recuperar.</target>

      </segment>

    </unit>

  </file>

</xliff>

Are these realistic examples?
