In fact, I didn't even know about it when I was shuffling things around (DSSL->XSLT) in January 2007.. Effectively breaking the referenced translation.dtd - I've never heard complaints about that. The DTD says "vcs" is correct, but that was changed February 2011 from "vcs", probably without updating all the translations. There are three scripts that reference this file: ./scripts/check-trans-maint.php ./scripts/cvs2svn_revchange.php ./scripts/revcheck.php Only revcheck.php actually uses it, and it references the "vcs" attribute to determine how to color the contributor (e.g. old or new contributor?) I'd say updating all the translations to vcs makes sense. You already have full phpdoc karma.. :) -Hannes
