Comment on XLIFF v2.2 CSD01 - Rationale for removal of the Change Tracking Extension

    Dear TC,

     

    It would be great if the rationale for removal of the Change Tracking Extension could be made explicit in the document. The rationale could for example be valuable knowledge for commenting on other extensions.

     

    Best regards,

    Christian

    Dear Cristian,

    Thank you for your message.

    The CTR module was demoted after the comments received during the second public review of XLIFF 2.1, here is a summary of the issues found: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/XLIFF-44.

    During the development of 2.2 we did not work on it and it was decided to remove it from the spec to make it shorter (as the informative module can still be found in the previous version). We had a ballot to remove the Change Tracking module from the spec: https://groups.oasis-open.org/higherlogic/ws/groups/3d0f1f56-8477-4b53-9b14-018dc7d3eecf/ballots/ballot?id=3731

    We might work on this module and the issues that were raised in the past to have it back in the next version.

    Best,

    Lucía
