I'm pretty confused about topicgroup, topichead, vs. topicref in DITA 1.2. In DITA 1.1 a topicref without an href or navtitle was treated as a topicgroup (or perhaps it was really the other way around, a topicgroup was just a topicref without a navtitle or an href). In DITA 1.2 does this change? Do we now recognize a topicgroup as a topicgroup based on the element name or class attribute value as your question suggests or do we still base this on the presence or absence of specific attributes? Does a topicref element without @navtitle, @href, or @keyref still act like a topicgroup? Does the presence or absence of a navtitle element within topicmeta within a topicref change anything? @navtitle on topichead becomes optional in DITA 1.2 and the navtitle element within topicmeta within a topicref or specialization is also optional. Is a topichead without @navtitle and no navtitle element still a topichead or does it now act like a topicgroup? > 3.
