Second last call working draft: Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) 2.0

Today the MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group has published a second last 
call Working Draft of "Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) 2.0" [1].

The group has addressed all comments received during the first LC 
period, see the disposition of comments at [2].

The status section provides a list of substantive changes that were made 
in response to the first last call [3].

The last call period ends 11 June.

Since the test suite [4] already covers two or more implementations for 
each feature, the Working Group is planning to move directly to proposed 
recommendation status.

The latest Editor's draft for the Last Call Working Draft publication is 
available at [5].


Abstract:
---------
The technology described in this document - the Internationalization Tag 
Set (ITS) 2.0 - enhances the foundation to integrate automated 
processing of human language into core Web technologies. ITS 2.0 bears 
many commonalities with is predecessor, ITS 1.0 but provides additional 
concepts that are designed to foster the automated creation and 
processing of multilingual Web content. ITS 2.0 focuses on HTML, 
XML-based formats in general, and can leverage processing based on the
XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF), as well as the Natural 
Language Processing Interchange Format (NIF).

Best regards,

Felix (staff contact and co-chair of the MultilingualWeb-LT
Working Group)
