Hi Yves and all, Question related to > what if there are several <rules> elements in the document? (it's not forbidden, and may be caused by tools > automatically inserting <rules>). Do we really want to allow for this? Don't we open a can of worms since for example we would need to say sth. about possible contradictions between statements in different "rules". Think for example of the case where rule set 1 specifies all "p" to be translated whereas rule set 2 specifies all "p" as _not_ to be translated. Best regards, Christian ________________________________ From: Yves Savourel [mailto:ysavourel@translate.com] Sent: Mittwoch, 5.

We didn't thought about some cases that makes our current consensus a bit arguable: what if there are several <rules> elements in the document? (it's not forbidden, and may be caused by tools automatically inserting <rules>). Currently we have: #1: If there is only ITS local markup in the document, the its:version goes in the root element of the document. #2: If there is a <rules> element (with or without additional local markup), the its:version goes in the <rules> element, not in the root of the document. Issues: --> If 'somehow' a document has an its:version both in the root of the document and in the <rules> element, I assume the one in the root element should be ignored (but things would change if later we decide to allow multiple verisons) --> If you have two or more <rules> elements, the its:version in the first <rules> should prevail? Or each version prevails for its <rules>? And which one applies the the local markup? I realize that these cases are related to the "do we allows ITS of different versions to be processed together" discussion that we said was premature, but it seems very difficult to apply our current consensus to those two issues without knowing the answer to the question. I'm a bit concern that all this seems quite confusing compare to just have one its:version in the root element in all cases... (which also makes the "do we allows ITS of different versions to be processed together" question much easier to resolve by restricting the possibilities of different versions to one per document at most). Any comment? -yves
