    Hi Andrzej,
    
    I believe there is a mechanism in XLIFF that allows you to tag terms in the
    source and target text: The <mrk> element has a mtype attribute that can
    take values from ISO-12620 2.1.11, one of them is "term". As <mrk> also
    allows extensions, one could easily add additional information as needed.
    
    Your example could be tagged as follow:
    
    <trans-unit id="1.0">
       <source>Remove the left-handed widget from the subassembly</source>
       <target><mrk mtype="term" ext:pos="VB" ext:tgt="odlacz">Remove</mrk> <mrk
    mtype="term" ext:pos="NN" ext:tgt="leworeczna lydzetka">the left-handed
    widget</mrk> from <mrk mtype="term" ext:pos="NN"
    ext:tgt="podzespol">subassembly</mrk></target>
    </trans-unit>
    
    Maybe a common set of extended attribute for terminology may be created and
    used by everyone. That goes back to the idea of developing a library of
    extensions for various specific purpose.
    
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    -yves

    LIGHTWEIGHT REQUEST FOR COMMENT
    
    
    Date Submitted:   04 / 15 / 2004
    
    Author(s),  Contributor(s) with affiliation(s):
    
    Andrzej Zydron
    
    1. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
    
    The ability to include terminology information in XLIFF files.
    
    2. STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENTS
    
    We have a requirement to include terminology information embedded in the
    <target> elements of XLIFF files.
    
    3. PROPOSAL
    
    We would like to include identified target terminology information within
    XLIFF <target> elements - e.g.
    
    <trans-unit id="1.0">
       <source>Remove the left-handed widget from the subassembly</source>
       <target><term pos="VB" tgt="odlacz">Remove</term> <term pos="NN" 
    tgt="leworeczna lydzetka">the left-handed widget</term> from <term pos="NN" 
    tgt="podzespol">subassembly</term></target>
    </trans-unit>
    
    4. IMPLEMENTATION
    
    Either create a new <term> element that is a child of <target> or allow
    namespace extensions within <term>.
    
    5. SCHEMA/DTD
    
    Either create a new <term> element that is a child of <target> or allow
    namespace extensions within <term>.
    
    6. BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
    
    No effect on backwards compatibility.
