    Hi Bryan,

      

      A very viable alternative to namespace for embedding a skeleton
      file is to zip and base64 encode it, thereby removing all
      potential problems. We have been doing that since the outset for
      XLIFF 1.2.

      

    
    

      
      
      
      
      
      

        
Best Regards,

Hello,

        
 

        
I've been pondering the issue we discussed
          regarding eliminating extensibility from XLIFF 2.0 vs. greatly
          reducing extensibility (in order to better enable
          interoperability and discourage custom solutions). 

        
 

        
I've come to the conclusion that we cannot
          completely remove extensibility, and still support our
          approved feature, "1.4 Allow XML content in
          <internal-file> element" (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/FeatureTracking#XLIFF2.0.2BAC8-Feature.2BAC8-InternalFileWithXMLContent.AllowXMLcontentin.3Cinternal-file.3Eelement
          ).

        
 

        
In an email from a long time ago, I mocked
          up a variety of ways to support this feature (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200806/msg00005.html
          ). All of these require namespacing the included XML. I might
          be overlooking something, but I think if the intent is to
          embed the source skeleton file, those XML elements (and
          attributes) will need to be namespaced in.
