Hi Sebastian,

In the second paragraph:

<p trans="false">some text <code>code <textInCode>text in code</textInCode>code</code>.</p>

The content of <textInCode> should be not translatable because trans='true' in the <p> element.

That is assuming trans='true|false' has the same behaviour as its:translate, (like a dita:translate).

In other words, we have cases of native markup like <code> and <textinCode> (case 1) that are not directly related to
translatability but need to be specified in our rules (simply because the nature of their content make them translatable or not),
and we have cases like trans='true|false' (case 2) that should mimic its:translate. The rules of case 2 should overwrite rules of
case 1, but sometimes rules of case 1 should not overwrite other rules of case 1 (for example when <code> can be within <textInCode>
and <textInCode> can be within ,code>) because re-ordering the rules can't work for them. 

...I think.

Cheers,
-yves
