Validation question

Hi,

Found a case where I need your input regarding validation on the test suite. 

An untranslated <unit> contains an isolated <sc> element in <source>, like this:

<unit id="1">

  <segment>

    <source>text <sc id="4" isolated="yes" fs:fs="i" /></source>

  </segment>

</unit>

Another <unit> contains a translated segment with the corresponding isolated <ec>, like this:

<unit id="2">

  <segment>

     <source>text<ec id="4" isolated="yes" fs:fs="i"/></source>

     <target>texte<ec id="4" isolated="yes" fs:fs="i"/></target>

  </segment>

</unit>

My validator says that the file is OK, but XLIFF Schematron says it isn't with this message:

Schematron result: 'isolated' attribute is set to 'yes', but the corresponding 'sc' element, out of the 'unit' with 'id=2', was not found. The start code must appear before the end code, but in the same 'file'.

It seems that Schematron rules are looking for a <target> with <sc>, but the corresponding segment is untranslated.

Would you consider the file valid?

Regards,

Rodolfo
