Hi Christian,


1. I would suggest to use the phrase 
   "Do not foresee or allow attributes to hold translatable text."
   instead of
   "Do not put translatable text in attributes."
   Rationale: The BP addresses the design of schemas, not the creation of
instances.

YS> Good point. How about: "Do not use attributes to hold translatable
text"?



3. We may want to modify the examples in such a way that the "img" is
embedded into are paragraph.
   Rationale: The things we say about nesting might become clearer.

YS> That would certainly show that the nesting exists in the two cases :)
Putting the text in an element vs an attribute does not
resolve that issue. So, I wonder if we should have that bullet about nested
text now...


Cheers,
