Question on "Elements that may refer to elements within maps or topics"

["Su-Laine Yeo" <su-laine.yeo@justsystems.com>]

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding this part of the DITA 1.2 spec: "For
elements that may only refer to topics or non-DITA resources, the value
of the keyref attribute is a key name. For elements that may refer to
elements within maps or topics, the value of the keyref attribute is a
key name, a solidus ("/"), and the ID of the target element, where the
key name must be bound to either the map or topic that contains the
target
element."(http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/common/thekeyrefa
ttribute.html)

What elements may refer to elements within topics, and what elements may
refer only to topics or non-DITA resources? For example, <xref>
obviously may refer to an element within a topic, and <link> may refer
only to a topic or non-DITA resource. What about <keyword>, <image>,
<ph>, etc.?
