RE: issue-63 (Re: Comment on ITS 2.0 specification WD - "conformance" Issue Type)

Hi David, Phil, all,

To be honest I'm not sure why adding this item in the list of values for issue type would be a big problem.
We are making much more demanding changes to the specifications in other places.

Phil noted 2 possible users for the values, an when you look at http://www.w3.org/International/its/ig/its20-tool-specific-mappings.html (which lists the origin of the current type values), you can see several values that have only one declared 'user'.

I think that value could be useful (as long as its difference with the Localization Quality Rating is well explained).

cheers,
-yves

Phil, trying to see if this has moved. There has been no traffic on this one as of Feb 5 and the meeting of Feb 6 seems only to have restated that the category would be produced and consumed between Digital Linguistics and Vistatec.

While I am aware that this would formally provide two implementers, my impression is that this new value has not had sufficient traction.
Any thoughts, comments?
Thanks
