[Issue-41][Action-195] Produce next draft of mtConfidence

All,

please find attached the next draft.

I tried to resolve most of the editorial comments Yves and others had re
the first draft.

I now refer to general inheritance and override behavior.
I consolidated to <0;1> giving a hint to implementers that they can
interpret this as a percentage etc..

After a brief discussion with Dave on provenance and translationAgent, we
agreed that covering mtConfidence needs in translationAgent would make the
translation agent unnecessarily convoluted (this might change if WG decides
that ITS needs more complex translation agent reporting and recording).
mtConfidence information is extremely perishable and the information needed
for identifying an MT engine virtually does not overlap with the
translation agent in its present shape.

BTW I miss a processing requirements section in the template..
Where should I say that
For self-reporting MT confidence of produced MT quality, MT producers MUST
use mtConfidence.
Any agent replacing or modifying raw MT in a segment (text element) MUST
remove or archive all the MT confidence markup.
