http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6245 --- Comment #1 from John Arwe <johnarwe@us.ibm.com> 2008-11-20 14:45:16 --- Yves, in your comment you supply some example XML and then afterward note that the ITS TR "could also" be used ("Note: In this example, the XML documents containing the text could also use the Internationalization Tag Set (ITS: http://www.w3.org/TR/its/) "). Since we have no one in the SML working group intimately familiar with ITS or the state of the art with respect to XML globalization practice, some questions came up during the wg's initial discussion: - Is the XML you supplied, especially the unqualified "messages" and "msg" elements, part of ITS, some other recognized and adopted standard, or any industry practice with demonstrable public domain adoption? - Same question for the putative ITS version you allude to. The existing examples were built based on code in one of the existing known SML implementations, based on the Java resource bundle concept (I'm not sure which category above this falls into, but at the minimum it is one with broad industry adoption amongst Java apps). Please note also that the appendix in question is exemplary, not normative or limiting. To the degree that either alternative you are suggesting has demonstrable public adoption or prescribes a format agreed to by a broad community I expect that will help make the case for adding it/them as additional examples. I am less sanguine about the prospects for removing the existing example ("we suggest to replace this section"), since it is based on implementation experience. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
