RE: [xliff-omos] Source and Target Language properties for Fragment
With regard to "fragment" I agree with Yves' proposition that I would normally understand it to be something small and a constituent of something bigger. "resource" would also have other connotations. How about "section" or "subset"?

Can we not introduce the concept of inheritance?
