Propose we add @name to <group>
Rationale: 

 

Traditionally we've acknowledged two methods of preserving an original documents hierarchy, minimalist and maximalist. In the minimalist we use a skeleton. And in the maximalist we use <group> and <unit> elements.

 

It is good that we have @name on <unit>. But to completely support the maximalist approach, I think we should add @name to the <group> element.

 

Also, since we allow <notes> in <group>, we should add <group> to our definitions of <note>

 

was:

A comment that contains information about <source>, <target>, <segment> or <unit> elements.

 

should be:

A comment that contains information about <source>, <target>, <segment>, <unit> or <group> elements.

 

I don’t see this as a substantive change, so unless a case is made against the name attribute on <group> I don’t think we will need to vote. We can see at the next meeting if we have consensus, and just add the attribute.

 

Thanks,

 

Bryan
