Addendum 2 (RE: Addendum to comment: RE: Metadata Module lacks processing requirements)

{Sorry to keep adding to this. I will consolidate in the tracking table}

 

Need to change 2.7.2 to continue to support the maximalist method (no skeleton). Again, since we do not offer any way other than <metadata> to capture attributes when not using a skeleton, the following processing
 requirement is problematic:

 

“Tools must not rely on user extensions (either in the Metadata module or custim namespace based) other than the ones possibly defined in <skeleton> to create the translated version of the original document.”
 (BTW, “custim” is a typo)

 

Chang to

 

“Tools should not rely on custom namespace based extensions other than the ones possibly defined in <skeleton> to create the translated version of the original document.”

 

Thanks,

 

Bryan

In order to fully enforce this we should also adjust the General Processing topic:

 

 

 

2.1 General Processing Requirements

    A tool processing a valid XLIFF document that contains XLIFF-defined elements that it cannot handle must preserve those elements.

Change this (should):

    A tool processing a valid XLIFF document that contains custom elements that it cannot handle should preserve those elements.

 

To this (MUST):

    A tool processing a valid XLIFF document that contains custom elements that it cannot handle
MUST preserve those elements.

Since the only way to enable the capture of attributes for and XML roundtrip, using the maximalist method (i.e., to not use a skeleton) would be to use the metadata module, I think the processing requirement should be that agents may ignore
 the <metadata>, but the MUST NOT remove.
