Yeah, we have run into a similar situation with glossref (it doesn’t behave like the other ref type elements).  Maybe that’s another small proposal we can fix for 2.0.

Well, the most annoying thing IMO is that even if the keys resolve, they won’t show up in output unless you specifically set print=“yes”. I’ve run into this a ton with term/abbreviated-form.

Specifically looking to allow Keydefs in a more natural position in the map versus the first instance were topicref is allowed in the current content model.  Are there other things that we have ignored about bookmaps
 in DITA 1.3?

Hi,

 

We have a number of clients that have hit some limitations for keyref and ditavalref in bookmaps.  I would like to work on a proposal that would address those limitations in DITA 2.0.  Would it be possible to create
 a project entry in the DITA 2.0 project?

 

Kind regards,
