The Internationalization Tag Set Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of "Best Practices for XML Internationalization." http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-xml-i18n-bp-20070628/ These best practices are a complement to the International Tag Set W3C Recommendation http://www.w3.org/TR/its/ , and are written for designers and developers of XML applications, XML content authors as well as users and translators.
