RE: [xliff] Working Draft - possible addtional data categories

Hi Yves,

I am not clear if the following question belongs to the discussion
of the XLIFF WD. However, I thought I could at least send it so that
we can record it for other contexts.

I am currently wondering how I can put the following information into
XLIFF:

1. the domain (for example 'financials') to which the contents of an XLIFF
   instance belong; I would like to represent this information, since it
   can be used to select the proper terminology

2. a distinction between single line and multi-line texts; this may be handy
   since multi-line texts may require special processing

3. a distinction between sentence fragments and complete sentences; I could
   use this for example to trigger grammar checking (I would not do this
   for sentence fragments since I usually see poor results for this type of
   texts)

Best,
Christian

Hi everyone,

Here is an updated version of the working draft for 1.1. The zip file
includes the schema for the core and the values.

I didn't include the proposal for <reformat> nor <tool> in it yet.

I'm still looking into how to allow extending attribute values. I suppose
you can define your own list of types and import the pre-defined one, but
that is akward for validation. It would be nice to fine a way to have to
change only imported files, so the reference to the main XSDs would remain
the same regardless whether or not you have your own extension.
I hope some of you have ideas for this, because I can see I'm running out...

Have a great week-end
