Subject: Should Nested Topicrefs Be Allowed for format="ditamap"?
I'm implementing my own chunk to-content processing and as a side effect of that implementing map-to-map refs. It occurred to me that having something like this: <topicref href="submap-01.ditamap" format="ditamap"> <topicref href="foo.dita"/> </topicref> Doesn't make a lot of sense since it's somewhat ambiguous where the subordinate topicref would effectively be relative to the contents of the target ditamap. I think this case should be disallowed but I haven't thought about it that deeply. This use of topicref has always seemed a little iffy to me. I would be happier with a new construct that was explicitly a map-to-map reference but I realize it's probably too late to make that design change for 1.2, if it would be appropriate to make it at all. But I think we should clarify the constraints in this case: either disallow the case above or state clearly what the effective result is.
