XLIFF 2.0 Validation: additional flags and one tweak

Chase Tingleyrequested to merge
xliff2-additional-validation-flags into main

Make several changes to lib-xliff2 to allow for laxer validation. Validation of the underlying library is exposed into okf_xliff2 as a binary flag (maxValidation.b), so these flags will all be considered false (ie, the behavior of the filter will be relaxed) for filter configurations that contain maxValiation.b=false.

  • Added a new validation option to allow for less strict processing of "monolingual" files. When disabled, empty <target> elements will be allowed, even if no trgLang is declared, and a trgLang attribute consisting of the empty string will be treated as not present, rather than as a validation error.

  • Added a validation option which, when not set, allows for <file> elements containing no <unit> or <group> content to be accepted.

  • Tweaked validation such that enforcement of NMTOKEN types in element ids is only enforced by schema validation, and is no longer redundantly enforced by the code.
