Hi Tony,

After having another look through this
list I feel I have to raise a concern I have towards including all of the
XUL elements and the granularity it provides for XUL, which we are not
necessarily be providing for other formats (I would not be too kean on
reading the list if we went down that road).
Basically, including all of the XUL
elements includes too many spurious values that may never be used.

An example of my concern is evident
in the following list of XUL elements 
        tree
        treecell
        treecol
        treecols
        treeitem
        treerow
        treechildren
Here the actual resource type is a tree
control described by the first element, <tree>. All of the rest of
these elements then describe aspects of the tree control and can only exist
as child elements of <tree> in XUL. Extending on this, <treecols>
in XUL is just a placeholder for containing multiple <treecol> elements
and therefore provides no specific useful information in XLIFF and I cannot
see how it could ever be used.

IMHO, I see the following options:
1. Prune the list of XUL elements to
only include root 'restypes', such as <tree> in the above example
and further reduce the list through commonality with the other non-XUL
values.
2. Add one 'XUL' restype and indicate
that the actual XUL type be specified through an additional namespaced
attribute via an attribute extension point
3. Use only XUL elements
4. Leave the extensive list as is (ouch!)

[xliff] Final Consolidated
Restype Attributes List






All:


Please review the attached HTML and Excel spreadsheet
for legibility,

accuracy and completeness.

Please note that I've assigned as owner the original
submittor,  or

subsequent resubmittor,  or in some cases my best guess as to who
may

own the item.  I may not have gotten the owners quite right,  so
it's up

to you to review to make sure any items important to you are represented

correctly.  Also,  please forgive me if I've omitted mention
of your

name as submitter - I will correct any mistakes once they're reported to

me.  Anyone is free to submit their suggestions - responses are not

limited to assigned owners.


I'd prefer if you return to me the XLS file rather
than HTML file.

Please indicate if the item should have status of
Approved,Deprecated,Rejected.  Please fill in
a description when one is

lacking, or feel free to edit the existing description.  And finally,
please fill in your name in next to the item you're
reviewing and feel

free to add any comments in the appropriate column.


The end of day Friday (per any timezone you like)
is the cutoff for

returning to me your signed off lists.  After this deadline,  any
items

not explicitly approved will be assumed to be rejected.


Regards,

Tony
