      Text in question:

      "Content from a key
        reference element and a key-defining element is combined
        following the rules for combining metadata between maps and
        other maps and between maps and topics. The @lockmeta attribute is
        honored when metadata content is combined."

[Jarno Elovirta] If combining metadata between maps and
          other maps, and between maps and topics conflict, which one
          takes priority?

        
[Eliot Kimber] I would expect the rule to be that general
          metadata cascade takes precendence, that is, metadata cascade
          within maps is done before doing any keyref-to-keyref metadata
          merging.
