Improved Whitespace Handling ***Need to add these topics to Asgeir's page, from (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0Goals):*** Must Haves: 1.9 - Enable internal-file to contain XML Markup, not CDATA [Christian] (http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200709/msg00006.html) * Bryan mocked up samples of how this could be done (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200806/msg00005.html) 1.10 - Create a bare-bones XLIFF core, then provide extension modules that support additional features. [Magnus, Christian] * "Simplify, Extend and Clarify" - V2.0 * (Core XLIFF functionality would be in primary XLIFF namespace; would be very simple to implement.) (Extensions would provide support for more complicated features like, Segmentation, Pre-Translation, Generic Inline Markup, etc.) Magnus said that he will try and get back to this and add more information. * Official XLIFF guide for subsetting the XLIFF XSD (http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200709/msg00008.html) * Named Types for XLIFF XSD (http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200709/msg00007.html) Note: Bryan merged this item as a sub here - might need to make it its own item * Make XLIFF 2.0 modular. That way tools could certify to support XLIFF modules (like Full XLIFF Trans-unit support) A. Christian and Magnus to create proposal on modular subsets and report back on progress by end-of-year. Should Haves: 1.11 - Submitting to ISO once XLIFF becomes an OASIS standard [Tony] 1.12 - Additional Representation Guides (DITA,.NET / Win32, Docbook) * Proposed ICU Reference Guide http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/locale/xliff-profile-icuresourcebundle-1.2.htm [Eric] 1.13 - Subsetting / restricting XSD as proposed by Christian - V2.0 Should have but could be Must have. We will wait until Christian discusses with TC 1.14 - Version control Metadata - need to track revision information - V2.0 1.15 - Include xml:tm in the non-normative section (http://www.lisa.org/standards/xmltm/) 1.16 - Ability to store Multilingual Content. - (will be promoted to Must or Should if a champion is assigned) We had a brief discussion on this and various questions were raised about how this would work. Bryan mentioned that his company achieve this through using the file element and having the same id and source for corresponding trans units. It was agreed that we would find the owner for this and they should champion it. Until then we will keep it on the requirements doc. 1.17 - Adapt inline element to match the markup of the new convention in TMX * need to have one tag for content though * and one for localization metadata * need to associate more information than we do today (i.e., need extensibility point) 11/ Topics for XLIFF 2.0 (Rodolfo) (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200807/msg00003.html) 12/ XLIFF 2.0 proposal: Allow [note] to reference [mrk] (Magnus, Bryan, Doug) (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200808/msg00004.html) Note: Magnus stated this item has been moved to the wiki.

Minutes: Roll call: we have quorum Tony moved to accept previous minutes, Eric seconded and none objected. Eric will leave the TC. Bryan thanked him for his hard work and invited to join the TC again in the future. Bryan simplified the agenda, moving item details to the wiki. Christian suggested to start a conversation on the mailing list for discussing the changes to the 2.0 specification. The list will be used to define the update mechanism. Tony will try to update the charter in the next two weeks. Discussion about XLIFF promotion will happen when Peter or David are present in future calls. Rodolfo will work on formatting ICU representation guide prepared by Eric after he finishes updating the specification document for XLIFF 1.2.1 Rodolfo will upload updated specification document for XLIFF 1.2.1 early on next week. XLIFF 2.0 tasks: Asgeir will be in charge of updating the Schemas for the new version. Semantics on Attributes on Structural Elements (reported by Christian in http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200808/msg00006.html) was discussed. Specification will explicitly state that innermost attribute has precedence. Bryan suggested putting all future changes in a single wiki page (unifying Ideas and Goals). Asgeir will try to unify the pages. Bryan will initiate a thread to discuss the work methodology for preparing the final release, based on the approaches discussed in the meeting. Call dismissed
