RE: ACTION-54: Try to come up with example of xliff+its test format / output

What do you mean by 'strip the whitespace'? 
1- delete all whitespace?
2- normalize the whitespace?
	a- trim the leading and trailing?
	b- normalize the leading/trailing?

[  Text  Text ] -> [TextText]

[  Text  Text ] -> [ Text Text ]

[  Text  Text ] -> [Text Text]

Thanks,

HI Fredrik and Yves, all,

I would calculate the offset based on element textual content, zero is start of the element, tags themselves are not counted, and
the whitespace is always stripped. Since roundtripping is not needed the whitespace stripping does not hurt.
See the NIF conversion at
http://www.w3.org/TR/its20/#conversion-to-nif
including the note about whitespace stripping.

Best,

Felix
