Hi Felix,
Sorry I've been away this past week. I actually have an alternate
proposal to simplify things even further: Drop the filter type
entirely. I asked back in April if anybody had a use case for the
"negative"/"exclude" type:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Apr/0148.html
I still haven't seen one, and I've had a hard time coming up with
one for the examples. If we don't need "exclude", and if "all" and
"none" can be accomplished otherwise, we could just drop the extra
attribute and instead have this:
<its:localeFilterRule selector="//legalnotice"
localeFilter="en-CA,fr-CA"/>
<legalnotice its:localeFilter="en-CA,fr-CA"/>
So does anybody actually need to enumerate locales where content
must be dropped?
