RE: [dita] possible spec update to include in DITA 1.2

[Robert D Anderson <robander@us.ibm.com>]

The collection-type attribute actually does not inherit anywhere, and
always applies to the direct children. So when specified on the map, it
actually specifies a collection type for the top-level topicref elements
that are immediately within the map element. At least, that has always been
my understanding.
