RE: [xliff] Implementing extensions
Hi,

 

Some points to keep in mind regarding extensibility:

It must be safe to ignore custom extensions while processing an XLIFF file;

Extension points should not be allowed in critical elements, like <source> or <target>;

Extensions must not be used instead of XLIFF standard features;

A tool that generates XLIFF files with custom extensions must be able to accept an XLIFF file processed with other tool as long as the received file is valid XLIFF;

A tool that uses custom extensions should not expect that other tools update custom data while processing an XLIFF file;

XML schemes that define custom extensions must be public and documented; 

Any custom extension used in an XLIFF file must be published under the same IP terms the XLIFF standard is published and be freely redistributable; 

Custom extensions are subject to standard rules for XML handling and the recommendations regarding XML usage included in the XLIFF specification.

 

Best regards,

Rodolfo
