RE: [dita-comment] Discussion about conrefend
I tend to agree, especially as you can't cross topic boundaries, the ID has
to be within the topic so conrefend should just be the last ID in the range.

Subject: [dita-comment] Discussion about conrefend

One thing I cannot understand about conrefend:

> http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/common/theconrefendattrib
> ute.html#theconrefendattribute

is why its value always needs to be something like
"path/to/target.dita#topicID/elementEndID". It looks redundant, its only
purpose is to identify the end element ID of a conref range.

Why not have its value be simply "elementEndID"? All the other information
can be obtained from the @conref or the @conkeyref attribute which is set on
the same element.

Maybe in another version of the specs we should also accept the short
version of the @conref attribute value as being valid and accepted.

Regards,
Radu
