Fwd: XLIFF 2.0 spec - dF Issue #03 - No PRs in glossary module
Ryan, re your note on the metadata module. I pointed out earlier today as an issue that the glossary module is not capable of carrying metadata..

See below..

Cheers

Dear owner, all.

If there are no PRs, no one will be ever able to delete the module data. This is just the gravest consequence.

Other than that, PRs (and definitions as needed) should be provided that could support a 'naive implementer', i.e. someone without the L10n tribal knowledge.

Other issues with this module:

This module is unable to carry any metadata (except the mandatory source attribute on <defintion> which does not seem sufficient), I guess that provenance attributes should be specified at all levels or at least top two levels.

Alternatively, the module could get extensible at the same levels (all three or two respectively)
