[xliff-tools] XLIFF detailed questions

[Martin Wunderlich]

Dear all,

May I trouble ye with a few very detailed questions regarding XLIFF
and its implementation? I had a very close look at the specs and there
are a few that are not entirely clear to me. Here we go:

1.
Under header-glossary a "glossary description" as contents for this
element. Is this to be understood as a simple text node?

2.
<prop> element: Does anyone have examples for "Tool-specific data or
text, no standard elements."? Again, is this to be interpreted as a
text node? (I know this element has been deprecated, but for backward
compatibility it should be taken into account, I guess)

3.
There are several elements, e.g. <tool>, which may contain "Zero, one
or more non-XLIFF elements." What are these elements and how are they
to be handled?

4.
Something rather curious for the <group> element. It says: "One or more <group>, <trans-unit>, 
<bin-unit> elements, in any order." Does this mean every group element _must_ contain at least one more
group element and at least one bin-unit element?

5.
<bin-target>: In the description it says: "The optional state  and state-qualifier attributes indicate
in which state the <bin-target> is."
The list of optional attributes is given as: "mime-type, ts, state, phase-name, restype, resname." No
mention of a state-qualifier here. Does bin-target have a state-qualifier attribute or not?

6.
<bx /> has optional attributes 'ctype' and 'clone'. <ex /> doesn't. Does this mean that the values of
these two attributes by extension also apply to <ex />?


Phew, that's all for the moment. Thanks a lot for any help in advance!

All the best,

Martin
