Michael Brauer commented on OFFICE-704:
---------------------------------------

Element and attribute names are never translated, regardless whether they occur in heading or a description. So, I would think it is absolutely valid to keep them untranslated. This may even be a better approach then translating headings that contain just a few keywords where it may be difficult to translate them without having the context.

However, there is a translation policy at 

http://www.oasis-open.org/about/translation_policy.php

My reading of this policy is that translations may amend the element names and attributes with some descriptive text if that is helpful, because this would be a non substantive change.

My suggestion therefore still is to close this issue and to reopen it only if we get specific complains about the element and attribute name headings.
