Minutes: 1/ Roll Call
There were 14 present as recorded in kavi.
Apologies: Andrzej
2/ The minutes of the last meeting was agreed as a correct record. Proposed John and seconded Magnus.
3/ Work in Progress:
Representation Guides:
i. HTML / RTF:
-"ElemType_header"
Bryan explained his addition to John’s proposal for this bug fix. This has the occurrence attributes at the parent element and removed from the child element. See http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00010.html for more information. It was agreed that this is a bug fix and should be done. Tony is to look at our revision policy and post this as specified by that policy.
-Language switching: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00014.html
Yves brought up an issue relating to language switching. His recommendation of using a span element was agreed.
-Profile: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00018.html
x-html- (From Yves)
The issue is that there are very few HTML elements that have a corresponding pre-define restype value. Because when you map all the elements you have to know that information, we have to define a mechanism for the elements without corresponding restype values.
The mechanism is to use x-html- where is the lowercase name of the element.
The question was: Should we use that mechanism for ALL elements (therefore being consistent within the HTML extraction and easier for programming), or should we use it only when a pre-define value does not exist (better for interoperability). In other words, when we have should we use restype='table' or restype='x-html-table'?
The general consensus was that interoperability was better, so we should try to use pre-defined values first. John noted that we even have explicit reference to HTML in the list of pre-defined values.
The result was the decision of building a list of all HTML elements and assigning each a restype value so the developer knows exactly what to do.
Bryan pointed out that we had already a start list in the current draft. I took the action item to work on it and post an update.
The issue of using x-html- for HTML tags was raised and will be discussed later. We also discussed whether all HTML tags should be used in XLIFF
ii. WinRes (John, Yves) – nothing to report
iii. Resx (Enda, Gerard) – At our next meeting we will discuss the email from Gerard on Representing .NET Winforms in Xliff http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00007.html
iv. Java Property Resource Bundles (Tony)-
v. Java Properties (John) –Tony and John to work on the Java issues.
vi. XForms ( Andrzej ) – Andrzej has apologised as he was at a conference so this issue will be discussed at a future meeting
4/ Bugs
As Mat and Andrzej were not present this was deferred to our next meeting.
5/ Status Report from Segmentation SC (Magnus)

Next Segmentation meeting: April 27th.
6/ XLIFF Generic XML parser - Follow up (Bryan)

7/ OASIS Registry of XLIFF Implementations
