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

Hi Dave, all,

it seems that various requirements which already have been fleshed out 
in the document are relevant to both the XLIFF scenario and to tool 
support in general, e.g.
[
Source segments or subsegments annotated by its:withText set to nested 
or no, should have these two options differentially indicated to the 
tool user. No indication is needed if the value is yes, since this would 
be the assumed state from segment to segment.
]
So maybe it is possible to have both perspectives at the same time in 
mind? E.g. via a table based approach - column 1 "XLIFF specific", 
column 2 "general"?

Best,

Felix
