RE: [xliff] IDs - uniquness and source/target exception (B)
Hi David, all,

To move forward on this:

As I noted in https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201311/msg00042.html I don't think the matter of whether or not <segment>
and <ignorable> have their IDs included in the same uniqueness requirement as the inline codes and annotations has been resolved
yet.

Fredrik had good reservations about this during the last call. I may have missed something, but I don't think we came to a
conclusion during the call.

Except for that caveat, and a probably missing "the" in "...MUST use (the) duplicate id...", the new text looks OK to me.

Cheers,
