  • 1.  Change in the specs regarding TMX

    Posted 04-11-2007 13:37
    Hi All,
    
    I'm completing the the review of the specification documents now,
    preparing the final versions for public review. 
    
    The references section in XLIFF specification has an entry for "TMX
    1.4a". I would like to make it generic and point to "TMX" page at LISA.
    
    Current link in the specification document points to
    http://www.lisa.org/standards/tmx/tmx.htm . This is a specific version
    and is actually version "1.4b", not "1.4a" as mentioned in the
    specification document.
    
    I think that the correct link to include in our specification is
    http://www.lisa.org/standards/tmx/ . This is the home page of TMX
    standard. If you visit it, you will notice that TMX 2.0 has been
    released for public review.
    
    If you agree, I'll make the changes. I hope to finish the review today
    (this task took me much longer than expected), so if you you have any
    comment or objection please send it before I submit the new documents,
    tomorrow at the latest.
    
    Best regards,
    Rodolfo M. Raya

    Rodolfo: 
    
    I think it's a good idea and is consistent with our edits previously for the
    SRX reference.

    Hi Rodolfo,
    
    I agree that it is a good strategy to refer to the more generic TMX
    page.  This solves the "moving target" conundrum.
    
    I'm grateful for the work you're doing.  I can sympathize with you about
    how these things take longer than you anticipate. 
    
    Thanks,
    
    Bryan

    Rodolfo,
    
    As to the selection of a target for a normative reference, it matters
    a lot whether the "normativeness" relates to specific content
    in a target document, or just "whatever that document might say
    at the time of your reading it..."  Creating the citation should
    make it clear what's intended.
    
    Please see the discussion here:
