Why There are Constraints on Conref


Product Names aren't the same as "individual words" and so the translation best practice doesn't really apply to the example given. And guidelines and best practices are just that. The question that is being asked here is will DITA 1.2 disallow a common practice that was allowed and quite commonly used with DITA 1.0 and 1.1. Thankfully the answer is that DITA 1.2 doesn't make anything illegal that was legal in DITA 1.0 or 1.1. But if it had been the other way, then the existence of guidelines and best practices wouldn't prevent it from being an incompatible change that we'd have wanted to avoid. So it was a very good question for Su-Laine to ask. -Jeff >
