    Subject: [xliff] Tool Element proposal


    Proposal (late, sorry)
    
    Add a tool element as a child of <header>.
    
    <header>
      <tool id='acme-killerapp-1' name='Killer App' version='1.0'
    company='ACME L10n'/>
      ...
    </header>
    
    A simple schema for this element is as follows.
    
    <xsd:element name="tool" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
      <xsd:complexType>
        <xsd:attribute name="id" type="xsd:string"/>
        <xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
        <xsd:attribute name="version" type="xsd:string"/>
        <xsd:attribute name="company" type="xsd:string"/>
      </xsd:complexType>
    </xsd:element>
    
    Other elements can be added as children to this element which could
    give information about how they count, leverage, etc. as those elements
    are defined. 
    
    The tool-id attribute could then replace the tool attribute in those
    places it is defined: <file> (this is a bit messy), <phase>, &
    <alt-trans>.
    
    
    On a related point, it seems more appropriate to add a phase-name
    atttribute to the <count> element rather than the tool-id attribute.
    This would give us richer information about the count than just the
    tool. The tool information for a count would be available via the
    tool-id attribute of the <phase>, then. This logic could be extended to
    the <alt-trans> element, also.
    
    
    cheers,
    john
