in the actual XLIFF 1.2 spec. Is this something planned for 1.3? Is it
something that will be added via the itsxlf namespace? This is more
curiosity than practicality.
In 1.2 user defined values must start with x- and since the spec doesn't
have a core value for unprotecting we had to go for this transparent user
defined value.
BTW, the XLIFF TC doesn't plan to work on 1.3.
In fact the TC approved a second public review draft of XLIFF 2.0 and plans
to have an ITS 2.0 mapping module in 2.1

document only mentions the use of general <note>'s. The default value for a
<note> element's 'annotates' attribute is "general". The other possible
values are "target" and "source", indicating that the note applies either
to the <source> or the <target> element contents. Is this to be supported,
as well? By which, of course, I mean, is it recommended that implementers
support this or is it to be ignored?
I think nothing prevents the implementers from using this. Perhaps we
should specifically say in the mapping that extracted notes should pertain
to source and only general or target related notes should be merged back
