RE: XLIFF Mapping - status

Hi Felix, all,

Thanks for the feedback

> <ph>, etc. ": what would guide the choice between "g", "bpt", ...?

That's an XLIFF choice un-related to ITS: XLIFF offers two ways to encode inline codes: enclosing the original code (with <bpt>,
<ept>, <ph>, etc.) and using placeholders (with <g>, <x/>, etc.) Either way is fine as far as ITS is concerned.

Not sure about that one.
We don't use its-annotators-ref in XLIFF, so is there a reason why we would refer to it (other than in an example where the original
document is in HTML)?
And then why make a special mention of its-annotators-ref vs its:annotatorsRef but not the other mappings between the HTML and the
XML notations (like its-ta-class-ref vs its:taClassRef in the same example).
I'm probably missing something.

Sorry I missed that TODO.

Good point for the use case of multiple resources on the same element.
I suppose two text-unit element when the element where the two external resources are would be ok.

Although not exactly sure what I would do with a itsx:externalResourceRef on a text-unit.

And this won't fly with the same thing in an inline element: one cannot have two itsx:externalResourceRef in a code. Maybe
itsx:externalResourceRef could be a list of IRI then?

Hum... adding provenance info back to the original data may be quite complex.

Actually there are many cases where feeding back data is almost impossible.
For example any concrete piece of info set with a global rule.
