Re: [dita] Removing navtitle attribute

Well - this might indicate a content reuse problem because ideally this information would have been shared / referenced - but the @navtitle attribute is listed as deprecated inside the definition for @locktitle:
DITA 1.2: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/common/topicref-atts.html
DITA 1.3: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata01/os/complete/part1-base/langRef/attributes/commonMapAttributes.html#topicref-atts__locktitle

It's quite possibly listed in other locations, but I went to those topics looking for the definition of @navtitle itself so located it quickly. The actual definition of @navtitle uses the "preferred way" language you listed below.

I asked our team at Vasont about removing the @navtitle attribute. They wanted to know exactly when it was deprecated. I did not find an explicit note that the attribute was deprecated, only that the best practice changed.
 
“Beginning with DITA 1.2, the preferred way to specify the navigation title in a map is with the navtitle element, available inside the topicmeta element.”
 
Just throwing this out for what it’s worth.
