Another aspect >would be mapping from one language to the other, e.g. > ><para> to <absatz> or to <谿オ關ス> This either will result in simple one-to-one correspondences that can be implemented by a simple, straightforward XSLT, or it will end up trying to address the generic problem of mapping from a DTD/Schema A to another DTD/Schema B with correspondences that are not straightforward (but for which again most probably XSLT is the best answer, to the extent that the mapping can be formalized). Seen that way, the internationalization/localization-specific aspect in this problem is very low. Expressed another way, if you want to map between two existing DTDs/Schemas, or create a new one based on an old one, you may need a translator and application expert to give you the corresponding element/attribute/... names, but not an internationalization/localization expert. This assumes that you don't e.g. want to add ruby when moving from German to Japanese, but we are already covering these things, so we should be okay. If I missed something, please tell me. Regards, Martin.
