Re: [xliff] Simplified XLIFF element tree

[Andrzej Zydron <azydron@xtm-intl.com>]

  Hi Everyone,

One thing to remember in all of this is to cover the instance such as 
ours where the text is pre-segmented in the original XML file using 
xml:tm. We always convert all formats to XML prior to extraction.

In our case there is never any unsegmented text extracted. For us 
<extr-text> will always be the same as <trans-unit>.

We use the <group> element to signify major element boundaries so as to 
be able to prevent attempts at merging <trans-unit> elements across such 
boundaries.

<extr-text> for our requirements needs to be always optional, never 
mandatory.

Best Regards,

AZ
