Feedback from the May 18 meeting:
- Added a goal about using i18n formatters. - Removed the goal about interoperability with interchange formats. - Rephrased the goal about compatibility with TMS/CAT to mention `localization roundtrip` instead. - Replaced `lossless conversion` with `one-to-one mapping` in the deliverable abvout XLIFF. - Added a deliverable about a conformance test suite.
