xml:space defined on <source> not being reported by lynx

[Ján Husarčík]

Hello,

according to http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/xliff-core-v2.0.html#xml_space, xml:space can be defined only for <xliff>, <file>, <group>, <unit> and <data>.

For sample file with <source xml:space="preserve"> no error is reported by lynx.

Regards, Jan

Actually I think the source and target elements are missing in the "Used in" list of that section.

As you can see here: http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/xliff-core-v2.0.html#source and here: http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/xliff-core-v2.0.html#target the xml:space attribute is listed as optional for both source and target.

It is also in the schema (http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/xliff-core-v2.0.html#core_schema) and in the section about segmentation modification (http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/xliff-core-v2.0.html#segmentationModification) for the merge operation.

But it is missing in the section you pointed out. I'll notify the XLIFF TC of the omission and, hopefully, that can be fixed in the next publication.

Thanks for taking the time to report the issue. -yves

The omission in the specification has been reported to the TC.

Thanks. Checked with DavidF. 2.1 will be fixed.

I concur with Yves's analysis, the elements were erroneously omitted from the "used in" list.
