Subject: referencing a bookmap from a map
Proposal 12055 is clear about what we do in the specialized map to generic map case and also about the specialized map to specialized map case, but we're not sure what should happen when a generic map references a specialized map. For example, what should happen in the following case: map1 ---- topicref to bookmap2 bookmap2 -------- frontmatter booklists Toc part referencing a concept chapter referencing a task What are the contexts or roles for the elements in bookmap2? Unchanged? Or does the generic topic reference from map1 override the top level topicrefs in bookmap2 so you end up with something effectively like the following for bookmap2: bookmap2 -------- topicref for frontmatter booklists Toc topicref for part referencing a concept chapter referencing a task Keeping things unchanged preserves the specialized information from a bookmap, but it also allows you to create situations using map references that you could not create within a single bookmap (e.g., a chapter within a chapter or a part within a topic). On the other hand, if the generic topic reference from map1 overrides the top level topicrefs in bookmap2, you couldn't create unexpected situations, but you lose all of the specialized information from a bookmap because you more or less fallback to the lower common denominator of a generic map.
