You've left off the domain and class
attributes. The domain attribute in particular is defined on the topic-level
element, and would tell us whether the two paragraphs allowed the same
sets of subelements.

Subject
| [dita] "Fragments of
DITA content" |
|
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/archspec/conref.html
“The target of a conref must be
in a valid DITA topic or DITA map. Fragments of DITA content do not contain
enough information on their own to allow the conref processor to determine
the validity of a reference to them.”
What is the basis for this statement?
Could some describe how the first of these documents contains more conref-processor-relevant
information than the second?
1.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD
DITA Composite//EN" "ditabase.dtd">
<!-- Created with XMetaL 4.6
(http://www.xmetal.com) -->
<topic id="topic_5"><title>Title</title>
<body>
<p id="reusable">This
is a reuable paragraph.</p></body></topic>
2.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE p PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD
DITA Composite//EN" "ditabase.dtd">
<!-- Created with XMetaL 4.6
(http://www.xmetal.com) -->
<p id="reusable">This
is a reuable paragraph.</p>
Perhaps the spec could be clearer if it were
explicit about what information the latter lacks.
As a best practice I actually prefer the
former. The title element makes it easier to find the fragment. But a rationale
based upon information management best practice is different than one based
upon the needs of a conref processor.
