Subject: RE: [dita] Conref push of different content to the same topic in different contexts
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.
