Proposal of not having mapping for translate and dir

   Yves: we had some consensus that what we are discribing was not
   mapping, but passing values
   ... we did not need that mechanism from that

   Diane: so we won't provide any mapping?

   Yves: no, the proposal is to break down mapping in two things
   ... what the currently called "mapping" in the mandelieu proposal
   ... needs a different name like "passTrough"
   ... this would not apply to translatability or directionality

   Christian: what would we have from the individual data categories so
   far?

   Felix: today we need only to decide if we want to have "passTrough"
   for these two data categories

   Yves: "passTrough" is necessary for localization information which
   is already in the document
   ... or term reference which needs to be passed trough
   ... for translatability, we don't need such mechanism
   ... same thing for directionality
   ... so the proposal today is: call "xxxMap" attributes different,
   e.g. "xxxPassTrough"
   ... and not to have these attributes for translatability and
   directionality

   Christian: If we don't need it, let's get rid of it
   ... we would need to change the section on ITS concepts

   Diane: I agree with Christian

   Yves: Sebastian is in agreement as well
   ... let's make the decision to drop "xxxMap" for translatability and
   directionality

New precedence rule (if we have mapping)

   Yves: this is refused for now, since we don't have mapping anymore

Shall we keep locInfoType of not?

   <YvesS>

     [19]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its/2006JanMar/0332.html

   Yves: we had some consensus that we don't need the attribute
   ... Richard proposed to have a new data category about "alert"
   ... "locInfo" as one category, "locAlert" as another one

   <chriLi> locInfoAlert and locInfoDescription?

   Richard: that would enable us to keep the two different types of
   notes

   Yves: as we discussed this, I thought we would get rid of the
   distinction
   ... I can see the need for the distinction in some cases

   Felix: we would need a more fine grained distinction

   Richard: if you want to have s.t. translated especially, you would
   use the "alert" variant

   Yves: if you create a new data category, you'd have to use the
   "passTrough" functionality two times
   ... so we need to keep the distinction, that is consensus
   ... having just an attribute for the distinction is better
   ... for the record: we keep locInfoType, and see how it goes

   Diane: would you make a default?

   Yves: yes, locally we default would be "description"
   ... globally, the locInfoType would be a mandatory attribute
   ... consensus for that
   ... maybe we put in the spec as an editor note that there is the
   discussion of a different notation

   Yves: any comments on Felix description?
   ... we are able to do what Felix described, since we dropped the
   schemaRule description

   christian: we need this linking mechanism

     [33]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its/2006JanMar/att-0344/XHTML_Modularization.html

   Christian: two comments:
   ... Richard said many people don't use dt
   ... I said, if we come up with a standard modularization, we should
   only consider what people should be doing
   ... my other comment was:
   ... if we look at the data category for terminology, the host
   vocabulary has maybe not a single container
   ... e.g. a term in <dt> elements, versus terms in special attributes
   <t> elements
   ... the question was if there is a mechanism "both are terms in the
   sense of ITS"

   Yves: ITS allows that, we just would have two rules instead of one
   ... as for the termRule element, did we decide to get rid of the
   term="yes" attribute?

   Felix: yes, I think we decided that

   separate documents

   Yves: need to address XHTML 2.0?

   Felix: no

XTech

   Felix: Sebastian said he will write s.t. about the ODD format
   ... the deadline is on April 15

   Christian: I could take introductory sections from the updated spec

   Felix: that sounds good. we should take RI's stuff also into account

   <scribe> ACTION: Felix to provide ODF template for XTech [recorded
   in [35]http://www.w3.org/2006/03/22-i18nits-minutes.html#action12]

discussions to be decided at next meeting

   Yves: [36]http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3000 on
   extensiblity
   ... then: renaming things: "documentRules" versus "rules", and
   renaming of "pass trough like" attributes (e.g. "xxxPointer")
   ... third topic:
   [37]http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=2924 (why a closed
   list of schema languages?)

     [36] http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3000
     [37] http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=2924

   Felix: how about discussing the "real mapping" proposal, see
   [38]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its/2006JanMar/0
   375.html ?

     [38]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its/2006JanMar/0375.html

   Yves: sounds good

relationship DITA versus XLIFF

   Christian: at the XLIFF TC, we are discussing this relationship
   ... some people say: you need to translate DITA to XLIFF
   ... others say: you don't need to do that

   Yves: I'd say it depends on the implementation of translation
   ... sometimes you use XLIFF internally, so nobody notices it

   Christian: It is also important for the DITA TC
   ... if you are using DITA "document like", and then convert it to
   XLIFF, you use some context information
   ... which you might have with plain DITA

DITA

   Yves: they move forward in implementing xml:lang and directionality
   ... which is good

face-to-face

   Diane: I won't be able to come

   Yves: Christian, Sebastian, me and Felix will come

next meeting - time difference

   Yves: the meeting will be one hour earlier in Europe

editor's call
