The question is, can you access the data in an OO file without going through
OO, in other words using the basic Unix tools to parse and segment the text?
This could certainly be done pre-translation, doing segmenting in advance,
since, as you say, the file format is XML. But could it also be done with OO
open? I don't know enough about OO to answer the question. But since I'm
writing a book about Unix for Mac OS X, I have seen the power of some of the
basic command-line tools, and have been wondering what the possibilities are
of integrating these tools into TM.
