Re: [dita-comment] Does the specs allow making conrefs from topics to maps?

Hi guys,

Any updates on this one?

According to the same domains limitation the specs imposes when making a 
conref, it would also seem that you cannot conref from a topic content 
which is located in a task because the task domains are a superset of 
the topic domains.
