            XML content authors having school level language grammar knowledge will 
            not find any difficulty in marking up such language specific information.
            It is not mendatory for an author to add finer classified metadata at all.
            He/she has to add metadata at some parts of his/her content which are
            exceptionally special with respect to his/her source language aspects.

            <sentence_cat name="phrases_idioms" meaning="heavily"> cats and dogs
            </sentence_cat>

            Such metadata will be of an immense help to localazation process (in order
            to find an appropriate phrases & idioms in a target language) without
            even knowing the source language- english well.

            <sentence_cat name="phrases_idioms" meaning="rarely visible">

  If translators know that a word belongs to a specific domain then they can go to a 
  terminoloy data base and check the word,  thus, even for human translators this 
  3-Tier or 3-layer schema will be helpful. One cannot do an accurate translation
