RE: issue-51 too many global rules

Hi dave,

 

Yes, I meant formats that can’t use ITS attributes in certain places.

Yes, it’s because their schema prevent them (not allowing other namespaces there for example).

Without at least a way to point to an attribute that has a reference to the stand-off markup, we cannot map (meaningfully) any data category used with stand-off markup in formats that can’t use an ITS attribute (like XLIFF 2.0). Note that we don’t necessarily need to have pointers for all attributes, just for the attribute used as a reference. So, for example Localization Quality Issue could have a global rule made of only a selector and locQualityIssuesRefPointer (I think).

Hi Yves,
To clarify, 
1) by "formats that can’t use an ITS attribute" you mean format that can't use ITS attribute in certain places, if they can't use them at all its pointers don't help

2) is there a whole class of such formats (can XML schema validation per say prevent this?) or is this something particular to XLIFF 2.0? If the latter, then this adds urgency to addressing the ITS mapping to resolve this pointer issue right?

cheers,
Dave
