I don't remember that aspect of keydef being discussed either.
I did a search through all of the meeting minutes and the only thing that comes close is a mention of Alan working with the dtd and saying that "keydef had a lengthy set of attributes tied to it", and that he "asked
for another set of eyes to look over his work to ensure that what he pruned was appropriate."
So no specific decision on keydef defaulting to resource-only was ever made, and it may well be inadvertent.
Cheers!

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
