Re: [dita-lightweight-dita] Keydef's processing-role in XDITA map
This might be a Michael Priestley question. I don't remember
    discussing this in meetings. But my opinion is that it should
    probably match DITA 1.3.

I'm honestly not sure of the answer on this
          one...

        

        In full DITA, <keydef> allows processing
          roles of both "normal" and "resource-only". It defaults to
          "resource-only" and it's possible nobody has ever changed the
          default.

        

        I noticed when helping fix up processing role
          here that in XDITA it only ever allows resource-only (that
          value is fixed). Not sure if that's intended as a way to
          prevent other uses, or just happened by some accident...

      Dear LwDITA SC members,

      

      While Robert Anderson was helping me rename the new entity for
      topicref processing in the XDITA map grammar files, he noticed
      that keydef has a fixed role of "resource-only."

      Is this on purpose? Should it be fixed?

      

      Best,

      

      Carlos
