Hello,

is reported as valid with state="final", while the <target> is not present.

Could you please consider enforcing existence of <target> (even if it's empty) for segment states different from default?

If you decide to do so, could you please update processing requirements in http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.1/csprd01/xliff-core-v2.1-csprd01.html#contentmodification accordingly, and reference them (at least) in http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.1/csprd01/xliff-core-v2.1-csprd01.html#state and http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.1/csprd01/xliff-core-v2.1-csprd01.html#target

Thanks,
Jan
