Re: [ISSUE-55] XLIFF - ITS mapping

Hi Dave, all,

the effort in general is of course very good. However, we had discussed
before that we would work on such "best practice" topics in 2013. Why the
hurry?

I am asking since as you know from "provenance and agents"
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Oct/0181.html
or the tool discussion we have a lot of open issues in the group; and we
haven't even started the editorial sections yet.

I want to avoid the situation of not enough time for and finally (= end of
November) dropping data categories because we spend the time on other
topics.

Best,

Felix
