Thank you for posting this example! I had looked at the ITS specification,
but not understood what it was really about and how it was meant to be used.

So if I understand it right, tools for extracting translatable strings and
for merging back translated strings into XML documents could use this
W3C ITS specification?

There is no free implementation of it right now?

An implementation of it would have to rely on XPath. For example, use libxml2.
Right?
