It defaults to toc=no, linking=none, and print=no. So my question is, > should it also default to processing-role=resource-only?

I think resource-only would be the appropriate default for keydef--it's certainly what I would want it to be, I think. I think we're trying to make a clear logical distinction between topicrefs that function *only* as indirectors to resources (keydef) and topicrefs that happen to have keys. If this wasn't the default I would probably define for myself a specialization of topicref that simply grouped keydefs and set the default for processing-role to "resource-only", e.g. <keyset> or something.
