Various XML constructs in inline content

With respect to processing instructions. It seems like just stripping them out could have a negative effect when the translated text is integrated with the skeleton file. It seems more reasonable that XLIFF should require that processing instructions should be converted to standard XLIFF inline elements so that processing instructions can be preserved during the translation process.

Here is my take: -- comments XML comments must be stripped out. An XLIFF processor must strip XML comments () found inside a content. Any comment that need to survive processing needs to be set using the XLIFF notes mechanism. -- Processing Instructions XML processing instructions must be stripped out. An XLIFF processor must strip XML processing instructions (<?...?>) found inside a content. Tool-specific data should be set using XLIFF's extension mechanism. -- CDATA sections CDATA sections (<![CDATA[...]]>) are allowed, but on output they may be changed into normal escaped content by the processor agents. An XLIFF processor must read properly CDATA sections inside an inline content, but it is not required to preserve the notation when writing out the document. Any thoughts? -yves --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that generates this mail.
