the bottom to get context.
I’m therefore proposing
three changes to the DITA specification. From: Michael

It is still valid. The id on most elements is not constrained to be unique, precisely to allow this as a valid case. >And to conref the same topic into a parent topic twice? This is not so valid. Topic-level elements must have unique ids. If the same topic gets conref'd into a document in multiple places, this does produce an error once the resolved document is parsed, and the conref processor doesn't currently check for that.
