Hi David,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
There is now a detailed specification for xml:tm available on line at the following URL:
http://www.xml-intl.com/docs/specification/xml-tm.html
as well as a white paper at the following URL:
http://www.xml-intl.com/docs/xml-tm-whitepaper.pdf
These links may provide some more insight concerning the detailed reasons behind the design of xml:tm.
Xml:tm is revolutionary, not in the XML sense – it has a very simple structure, but in the realm of translation memory and its use for XML documents, aligned with the concept of "perfect matching". It leverages the syntax of XML to substantially improve the translation process for XML documents. As far as I am aware (and I have been giving presentations and publishing articles on xml:tm at international symposia for nearly a year) no one has come up with a similar solution for the translation of XML documents.
Even though I participate in two OASIS TCs (Trans WS as a member and XLIFF as an observer) I must admit to not being aware of CAM. This is one of the benefits of publishing articles - you find out about so many interesting things from feedback! It is difficult to keep abreast of all the very useful work being done within OASIS, W3C and Lisa's OSCAR. CAM certainly looks very interesting. I will be studying the complex CAM spec in detail and will reply in due course.
Regards,
A.Zydron
