I have updated the webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mfang/7196354/webrev.01/

... I am also moving the file from root of source tree to jdk/make/jdk.tbom. SGT strongly recommends we follow the standard file naming convention used by the translation system, which is component-name.tbom. This is followed by all Oracle products requiring translation. We currently have no plan to publish the syntax and semantics to the openjdk community through JEP process. We would like to keep the syntax internal. When I review dev team's changes related to resource files, I will keep an eye on the files to be translated and translation language scope.

Thanks for the update.

A file whose syntax and semantics are not publicly documented, whose content can only be validated by an employee of one company, and whose very name is dictated by that company has no place in an OpenJDK code repository.

Please work with other Oracle engineers to find a place for this file in one of Oracle's related internal repositories.
