Hi David, I have finally had enough time to look at CAM in detail. I was somewhat hampered in this by the lack of published articles about CAM and the specification document itself, along with a slightly chaotic and disappointing web site. I always worry when I see an XML specification written in MS Word.
Having said all that, I think CAM is a very good technology and I plan to use it as the basis of the localization directives specification which I will be involved with (hopefully) shortly. So thank you for bringing it to my attention. Our exchange has been very useful for me.
However CAM is not a substitute for xml:tm. xml:tm is about embedding and tracking id references in documents, along with DOM differencing. Non of this is achievable as a notation with CAM. CAM can be used as the basis for localization directives though. At the moment xml:tm uses the ‘analysis’ file concept for defining translatable text, inline elements and translatable attributes. CAM offers a better substitution for the analysis file concept as part of a greater localization directives specification initiative.
Best Regards,
AZ
