Use of <linktext> in DITA 1.2 spec

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

Hi, Bruce.

General best practice is to only use <linktext> when you are 
constructing a link to a non-DITA resource. If the link is to a DITA 
resource, the processor will use the content of the <title> element for 
the link.
