CFD: csprd03 235 xml:lang-related text and Translation Candidate module

Hello,

 

I propose for 4.2.2.12 Source, we remove the constraint:

 

When a <source> element is a child of <segment> or <ignorable> and the OPTIONAL xml:lang attribute is present, its value MUST be equal to the value of the srcLang attribute of the enclosing <xliff> element.

and from 4.2.2.13 Target:

 

When a <target> child is added to a <segment> element, the value of its xml:space attribute MUST be set to preserve if the xml:space attribute of the sibling <source> element is set to preserve.

 

 

and from 5.1.5.3 match

 

xml:lang MUST NOT be set on the match element.

 

and

 

Warning

Although the xml namespace is allowed by extensibility on the above constrained extension point, setting xml:lang here would conflict with the semantic of srcLang, trgLang, and xml:lang as defined in this specification, because of XLIFF
 being primarily a bilingual format.

 

If I do not hear any objections by 11 March I will consider this approved by the TC.

 

Thanks,

 

Bryan
