    Hi Bryan,   That’s one of the reasons why unit ids values must be unique per <file> (one of my comments). Your issue goes away in that case.   -yves   From: xliff@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:xliff@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Schnabel, Bryan S Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 7:15 PM To: xliff@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [xliff] Wondering about sub-flows (meant NOT as a comment for PR 2)   I’m reading our specification for sub-flows. I DO NOT wish to make a comment that will impact the Public Review. But I was just wondering about best practices.   Our example does not mention anything about the uniqueness of <unit> IDs that are involved in a sub-flow. So I could have something like this (borrowing from our example, and adding extra <unit> elements):   <unit id="1"> <segment>   <source>Blade engagement button</source> </segment> </unit> <unit id="2"> <segment>   <source>Click here to engage the blades</source> </segment> </unit> <unit id="1"> <segment>   <source>Start button</source> </segment> </unit> <unit id="2"> <segment>   <source>Click here to start!</source> </segment> </unit> <unit id="3"> <segment>   <source>Click to start: <ph id="1" subFlows="1 2"/></source> </segment> </unit>     So it is not clear if my resolved sub-flow will say:   Click to start: <img title="Blade engagement button" src= alt="Click here to engage the blades"/>   Or:   Click to start: <img title="Start button" src= alt="Click here to start!"/>     So I wonder if it would be a best practice to wrap all <unit> elements that make up a sub-flow into a <group>?
