Fwd: XLIFF 2.1 csprd02 - wrong namespace for id in the ITS module

Hi all,

I apologize for posting this comment after the formal public review close, but this is very likely a show stopper that would send us to csprd04 if logged later, so better now than later..

The W3C its: namespace reuses xml:id on the elements it defines

Our its.xsd introduces an its:id of the type xs:id

I am afraid there is no such attribute in the W3C namespace because it actually reuses the xml:id.

Thus, the xsd needs to change the its:id to xml:id and the prose spec needs to make clear in 5.9.12 and 5.9.12.4 that the module uses xml:id and not its:id (or even itsm:id that it had been using in csprd01). Both are of the xs;id type, just that we don't control the its: namespace so that we are not free to declare it where it didn't exist..

Cheers and thanks for your attention
