Re: [ACTION-160] (related to [ACTION-135] too) Summarize specialRequirements

I think we need to find out where Jan’s group is before we decide on this. If they don't have a proposal/implementation ready (yet), then maybe this is the perfect opportunity to coordinate with Microsoft and XLIFF on a common solution. If Microsoft is far along the path and willing to share, then maybe it shortens our development cycle to start where they are.

I'm just afraid that it we end up with a simple enumeration solution without at least range selectors and inverse, we will end up with a solution that will be seen as too cumbersome for many implementers and users. While it meets Michael’s needs and we need to be mindful of what implementers commit to, we also have to keep usability for the broader community in mind, and this is a case where I think that the broader community would expect more from ITS 2.0.
