RE: [ISSUE-55] XLIFF mapping - update to mtconfidence and domain

Hi Felix,

I have nothing against having a separate one.

I was just thinking it really must be either an OASIS or a W3C one. My guess is that since we are planning to have some life through the IG after the WG (BP, LQI types, etc.), it may be better to do all that in the W3C.

Could we have something like: http://www.w3.org/2013/03/its-xliff ?

But I'm really not sure that in such case the origin must be 'MT'. Origin is already in use today for indicating more specific information (e.g. not just MT but Google-Translate or Bing-Translator for example).

What we define are attributes/elements that are meant to be used in specific context and don't have necessarily relationship with each other. So I think it's fine to have a schema for XLIFF+ITS/X that is used to validate such profile.

It would probably be cleaner to have a separate namespace URI, esp. 
since as the namespace doc at
http://www.w3.org/2008/12/its-extensions
says
"Note that the extensions of this namespace are not supposed to be stable, but are being discussed in the Interest Group. "

Is there a reason not to have a separate URI, besides that I was rather slow in following my action item to install one?

Best,

Felix
