Key definition for LwDITA and reusable text

We need a clear way for people to define keys in a Lightweight
      DITA map. This functionality is not currently present.

    
There are three ways to define a key in a DITA map:

    
      
<keydef> element

      

      
<topicref processing-role="resource-only">

      
Defining a key on a topic reference used for navigation

    
    
In each of the above cases, users would have to have access to
      other elements not currently available in the Lightweight DITA
      DTDs: <keywords> and <keyword>.

    
Here is the standard way to define a key used for variable text,
      such as a product name:

    
<keydef keys="product-name">

        <topicmeta>

         <keywords>

           <keyword>Remote Network Lighting</keyword>

          </keywords>

        </topicmeta>

      </keydef>

    
None of the highlighted elements are available in the Lightweight
      DITA DTDs.

    

    What's the plan? From a usability perspective, I suspect that the
    easiest thing would be to add <keydef, <keywords>, and
    <keyword>.

      Best,
