I think the difference is in the nature of the markup: In Target Pointer use cases we just point to the target nodes. But in the quality Error the XLIFF 2.0 use case de-couples the content to which the information applies from the place where the information (to which the rule points to) is stored.

I suppose the same 'reference' issue could exist for Target Pointer as well, but we just don't have any use case for it.

BTW: For the qa-error data category, now that we have a global rule and that Felix came up with at least one way to map the potential XLIFF 2.0 implementation, there is no road-block as far as I'm concerned.

Cheers,
