Re: Invitation to review TMX and SRX Updates

Hi Christian,

I have some comments on TMX, see below. Please feel free to forward them 
if useful.

"Source language - Specifies the language of the source text. In other 
words, the <tuv> holding the source segment will have its xml:lang 
attribute set to the same value as srclang. (except if srclang is set to 
"*all*"). If a <tu> element does not have a srclang attribute specified, 
it uses the one defined in the <header> element.": I would point them to 
the discussion on the www-international list and ask them to keep track 
of it before finalizing this statement.

(on xml:lang) "This declared value is considered to apply to all 
elements within the content of the element where it is specified": I 
think this should include attributes.

"Date in [ISO 8601] Format. The recommended pattern to use is: 
YYYYMMDDThhmmssZ
Where: YYYY is the year (4 digits), MM is the month (2 digits), DD is 
the day (2 digits), hh is the hours (2 digits), mm is the minutes (2 
digits), ss is the second (2 digits), and Z indicates the time is UTC 
time.": I would propose to require an application to always use Z as a 
default if no time zone component is available. Otherwise two values 
(one with timezone, one without) are hard to compare.

Some comments also on SRX:

"segmentsubflows": their notion of subflow seems quite different to 
"Elements within Text". But I don't know what to do about that ...

the SRX schema in appendix E has no extensibility points to include 
other markup. I wonder why this is the case.

in the sample document in appendix B I saw: <languagerule 
languagerulename="Japanese">. I think it is confusing to have the name 
of a language as the langrulename content. It seem that languagerulename 
is an identifier for a rule, not a language.
