Subject: RE: [xliff] HTML Profile - Language Switching

For this specific case, I would have thought it possible to use the <mrk>
element with mtype='phrase' and the xml:lang attribute (as <mrk> allows
extensions). However, this may not be possible if the HTML in question is
not well formed (HTML 4.01 rather than XHTML):

<source xml:lang='en'>She added that "<bpt id='1'>&lt;span
lang='fr'></bpt><mrk mtype="phrase" xml:lang='fr'>je ne sais quoi</mrk><ept
id='1'>&lt;/span></ept>" that made her casserole absolutely
delicious.</source>

There may be a better mtype to use or perhaps we should encourage the use of
a mtype='x-langswitch'
