Subject: RE: [xliff] Final Consolidated Restype Attributes List
Hi
all,
It
might make sense to say a word again about my original motivation for including
both
XUL-
and XSD-related items:
I was
assuming that we where looking for a kind of 'superset' of items to which
items from specific
sets
(e.g. those belonging to Windows RC files) could be mapped. My
specific line of thought was
to
create mapping tables which reveal how the individual sets would be
mapped to the superset. This
approach appealed to me since on the
one hand the superset would give us a comprehensive
layer of
abstraction, and the mapping tables would
leave no doubt about what representations for example
of
Windows RC items have to look like in XLIFF.
The
only alternative to this 'superset and mandatory mapping' approach to me
would be the consequent
use of
the namespace mechanism (which for example might render Windows RC specific
information
in
XLIFF as 'item="winRC:X"'). Of course this alternative approach could
boil down to a completely different approach
for
tool suppliers. Possibly, they would no longer work on rendering XLIFF,
but would look into XLIFF files,
see
that they are really 'wrappers' for say Windows RC files, and then would use
Windows RC
related functionality for further
processing.
Best,
Christian
