Everyone would need to > use the same XSLT transformation to have consistency. the TEI i18n project http://www.tei-c.org/I18N/ provides an infrastructure to relate source language and target language tags. In this way, the consistency of the XSLT translation is assured. The input to the XSLT translation is like below: <elementSpec module="header" ident="taxonomy"> <altIdent xml:lang="fr">taxinomie</altIdent> .... </elementSpec> meaning that the <taxonomy> element will be translated to <taxinomie> for french. > > 2) For XML 1.0, it could only work for some languages, and would > exclude many others. > use XML 1.1?
