This wording implies that the resource/subelement binding is exclusive, but
in fact it's both. I'm not sure how to express that crisply--every time I've
tried it comes out convoluted.

That is, a key binds to any resource addressed by the topicref as well as to
any applicable subelements of the topicref's topicmeta child.
