I don't have a recommendation one way or the other. But I can offer a use case
that might have some bearing. In my case, I am an implementer, not localization
service provider. One of the things I do is to automate the transformation of
source XML to XLIFF, and the transformation of translated XLIFF back to source
(improving my cost model by shielding the LSP from complexity).
Element-by-element recommendations would help me in this task.

Topic: Element-by-element recommendations for translators
Paul Grosso commented that this topic does not belong in the Arch Spec. However, this topic is essential for localization service providers to know how to correctly set their systems to include or exclude certain elements from the translation workbench. We specifically requested that it be added to DITA 1.1.
Why should this topic be excluded? I also don't see why it is a subject for the Adoption TC since it is a requirement for implementers.
Implementors of the DITA spec? Or localization service providers?
In any case, what does this have to do with DITA architecture?
I would imagine this large topic is of no use/interest to most DITA implementors. If none of this topic is normative as far as basic implementation of the DITA standard is concerned, then perhaps it should be an informative appendix to the language spec.
