Is this proposal #13004 or #13005 on the DITA 1.3 list? #13004: Future post DITA 1.2 work from Issue #12007: Item 2: Consider adding a scoping mechanism for use with key definitions and possibly other aspects of DITA based on the map hierarchy or the combined element hierarchy within a set of maps. #13005: Future post DITA 1.2 work from Issue #12007: Item 3: Consider allowing subsequent key definitions within the same map or within peer maps to override previous key definitions, probably as part of some hierarchal scope, and probably in a fashion that is the same as or similar to override mechanisms to be developed for other features such as ditaval. We talked about something like this back when we were working on proposal #12007 (keyref) and there are some statements about it in the proposal. Back then people said that it would be a useful feature, but that we didn't want to deal with it as part of DITA 1.2. -Jeff >
