Adding group tags in XLIFF

[sudhanshumonga]

Currently all the translatable content are put into a list of tags. For example in HTML the content follows a tree-hierarchical structure, so adding tag may help understand the location of a particular text in the original file's hierarchy.
For example:

HTML:
{body}
{div}
{p}this is para{/p}
{p}this is another para{/p}
{/div}
{div}
{p}this is para{/p}
{p}this is another para{/p}
{/div}
{/body}

XLIFF:
{group id="1"}
{group id="1.1"}
{trans-unit}
{source}this is para{/source}
{/trans-unit}
{trans-unit}
{source}this is another para{/source}
{/trans-unit}
{/group}
{group id="1.2"}
{trans-unit}
{source}this is para{/source}
{/trans-unit}
{trans-unit}
{source}this is another para{/source}
{/trans-unit}
{/group}
{/group}

currently the XLIFF is like:
{trans-unit}
{source}this is para{/source}
{/trans-unit}
{trans-unit}
{source}this is another para{/source}
{/trans-unit}
{trans-unit}
{source}this is para{/source}
{/trans-unit}
{trans-unit}
{source}this is another para{/source}
{/trans-unit}

The former one gives a sense of hierarchy and location in the original file. This thing can be done for DITA and other XML formats as well.

Let me know about your thoughts on this.

I'm not interested in adding <group> tags. They complicate XLIFF processing.
