RE: [xliff] Whitespace handling in <data>
Hi Rodolfo, all,

I've tried the following, as we discussed. But that didn't work.

  <xs:element name="data">
    <xs:complexType mixed="true">
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="xlf:cp"/>
      </xs:sequence>
      <xs:attribute name="id" use="required" type="xs:NMTOKEN"/>
      <xs:attribute name="xml:space" fixed="preserve"/>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>


Note using name="xml:space" caused errors for me. Then when I've changed name="xml:space" to "ref="xml:space", I got import problems in the other modules.

Cheers,
-yves
