Minimum set of container elements for XLIFF 2.0
Hello,

 

I propose that while we are adding/changing features and functions, there is a minimum set of container elements (hierarchy) that we should preserve as framework for XLIFF 2.0. I think that set is: xliff, file, header, skl, internal-file, external-file, body, group, and unit.

 

(legend: 1 = one

 + = one or more

 ? = zero or one

 * = zero, one or more)

 

<xliff>1

| 

| 

+--- <file>+

 |

 +--- <header>?

 | |

 | +--- <skl>?

 |   |

 |   +--- <internal-file>?

 |   | 

 |   +--- <external-file>?

 | 

 |

 +--- <body>1

 |

 +--- <group>*

 |

 +--- <unit>*

 

Of these I can only think that <group> could be controversial. I say that because it is feasible that it could change like <trans-unit> changed into <unit>. But I doubt the concept of grouping will go away.

 

And while it may be premature to say this, I envision that this will be a core feature (though ranking it as core is not part of this proposal).

 

Thanks,
