Does the DITA OT adjust all of the href values within conrefed content or just the href values on the referenced element? Does the DITA OT adjust referencing attribute values beyond @href? An example would be @conref and there are others. Where does the following case fall in this discussion? File: t1.dita <topic id="t1"> ... <p id="p1">Para1 in t1</p> <p id="p2"> <xref href="#t1/p1" /> ...</p> </topic> File: t2.dita <topic id="t2"> ... <p id="p1">Para1 in t2</p> <p conref="t1.dita#t1/p2" /> ... </topic> When topic t2 is processed: 1. is the xref in error because the id "t1" doesn't exist in topic t2? 2. or is the xref a link to p1 in t1? 3. or should the href value be rewritten to give a link to p1 in t2? All I'm saying is that there are a number of cases to consider once you start down the road of adjusting things and I worry about approaching this piecemeal for DITA 1.2 in a rush at the last minute without a formal proposal and with only a short time for discussion (unless we slip the DITA 1.2 deadlines further and perhaps that is what we should do given all of the questions that have been raised recently). -Jeff >
