    http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/ballot_archive.php
    
    4.(item carried - over from last meeting) Design loophole - XLIFF permits multiple languages in single XLIFF document, so that you could create one file that contains multilingual resources for all langs. For example, a single XLIFF document container could consist of multiple files with source-target pairs like: english/french, italian/spanish, german/portuguese. This loophole stretches the design intent of XLIFF, and means that the content of such a document would not be exchangeable between localization tools that operate on the bilingual model.
    Discuss if it is feasible to limit within the XSD that only bilingual or monolingual language may be specified per XLIFF document, or if we should indicate through prose in the spec that only a single bilingual source/language pair should be contained within the same file, or if we should indicate anything about this loophole at all in the spec (ie, leaving it open to implementor to possibly exploit this loophole).
    
    5. Proposal from Mirek and Milan of Moravia to add 3 new items to "restype" attributes list: 
    
    usercontrol             Indicates a user-defined control like CONTROL control in Windows 
    binary                  Indicates a raw data resource for an applications like RCDATA in Windows. 
    versioninfo             Indicates a version information about a resource like VERSIONINFO in Windows 
    
    Discussion and decision or vote on disposition of this proposal.

    6. Discussion of Shigemichi's suggestion that size-unit "glyph" attribute value is not an accurate name for the entity it describes.
    Shigemichi suggests that Unicode's term ""grapheme cluster" is more accurate (definition -> http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/tr29-4.html#Grapheme_Cluster_Boundaries)
    Discussion and decision or vote on disposition of this proposal.
