RE: [its-2.0-testsuite] Incorrect ITS in XLIFF files (#2)

The advantage of using XLIFF <note> is that XLIFF processor will be able to use it even if they don’t support ITS.

 

Maybe the solution then is to use <note> when the Locnote is not a reference, and use the ITS markup when it is a reference.

Yes, I did notice the mapping note on locNoteRef. Whatever happens, though, I think it will be better to have separate places to put locNote and locNoteRef. Using special text content to differentiate two categories has the risk of hitting a corner case. Someday, someone, somewhere might begin their actual locNote with REF:, and they will be puzzled why it keeps being rendered as a locNoteRef. Or they'll figure it out pretty quickly, and you'll get an email asking how to begin a locNote with REF:.
