Hi, There is an example in the test suite with a comment annotation pointing to a note outside the unit, using the ref attribute like this: <mrk id='m3' type= comment ref= #f=f2/u=u1/n=n1 >Sentence 1.</mrk> The definition of ref says that when used in a comment annotation, it must point to a note within the same enclosing unit. See 4.7.3.1.3 Comment Annotation and 4.3.1.27 ref Why can't a comment annotation point to a <note> located outside the <unit>, provided that the fragment identifier is correct? FWIW, XLIFF Schematron doesn't detect this as an error. Regards, Rodolfo -- Rodolfo M. Raya Maxprograms
