Re: [ISSUE-55] ITS in XLIFF - CAT tool requirements

Hi Christian,
Yes you make a good point about these requrirements being desiarable 
even without XLIFF, but I made that decision deliberately to get the 
most benefit from this task for both CAT tool ITS support _and_ the 
ITS-XLIFF mapping work.

I'd suggest we press on with the XLIFF based approach, and see what we 
learn from using OmegaT as a reference implementation, and then we could 
attempt to generalise the wording requirements. What do you think?

Regards,
Dave
