We discussed this as the OASIS TC on Tuesday, and the general thinking was along the lines of -- what's inside a block is resolved in the new context, the same way it would be for XREF.

As I write that up here though I'm not sure it's workable -- that design works because XREF is pretty much always evaluated after conref or conref-push, because it's something that you can hold off almost until rendering time.

If conref and conref-push are evaluated separately (which they are today in DITA-OT, and maybe / probably in other tools), this doesn't work. Whichever is processed first is handled in that context, whether it is inside or outside.

I think I'll have to raise that issue with the TC again next week, and hopefully come back with a clearer answer. Whatever the answer, it seems clear we need to address it in the next specification update.
