RE: ITS rules in XLIFF

Hi Nathan,

Yes, the mapping doesn’t use global rules. The idea is that an XLIFF processor should be able to add support for ITS by just implementing support for the attributes defined by the mapping.

This doesn’t prevent an ITS processor to support XLIFF by having global rules describing the XLIFF features, just like for any other XML format.

Subject: ITS rules in XLIFF

Hi all (especially Yves),
I'd like to confirm an observation on ITS in XLIFF. At least judging by the mapping documentation, it seems that ITS in XLIFF does not allow for global rules of any kind, and that during mapping all rule matches must be turned into local attributes of some kind. Is this correct?
