We use

mtype="x-its"

to indicate that the mrk is introduced to support the language value 
transformed from ITS (rather than added natively by an XLIFF processor) 
- so its more informative and otherwise not different from native usage.

There are two reasons:

1) the itsx namespace is used when the attribute isn't  defined in ITS. 
So here, there is no annotations for defining domains exactly, just 
though mappings and pointers, but when processed it results in a domian 
annotation (as in the test suite)

2) the attribute exists in ITS, but some of the meaning is lost in the 
transform to XLIFF, so it need to be treated in a way that differs from 
what a 'pure' ITS processor would expect.

The namespace will be:
http://www.w3.org/ns/its-xliff/

Felix now has an action to deploy this, so it will be resolvable soon.

let me know if we can help explain anything further?

cheers,
Dave
