There was a vote on this topic which got the following result 5 votes for 'Add unconstrained namespace extension points' 5 votes for 'Add constrained namespace extensions points' Since the vote Bryan has sent out a mail suggesting 5 approaches for dealing with this. see: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200407/msg00007.html There has been some email discussion on this. Gerard outlined his and John's response and their concerns over interoperability. Christian suggested that we were concerned with everything that was in the XLIFF namespace but not with other namespaces. There was a debate about whether or not other namespaces should be ignored or not. Tony suggested that we should trash this out further in emails and come up with use cases in terms of problematic issues. Christian suggested that there should be a flag to say you are using a namespace at an extension point. David raised the possibility of having some to flag what sort of behaviour is permitted for a particular namespace. There was a short discussion on this and whether this could be achieved using the translation directives suggestions from Richard Ishida of the W3C. 4/ Work in Progress: a. Representation Guides: i.
