RE: [dita] Review Comment: 2.1.3.4.3.3 Processing key references: Remove para starting "When attributes are combined..."

It would be helpful to the reader to provide a link to the place where
the "normal conref rules for attribute merging" are specified. I believe
this is all covered in 2.1.3.5 Content inclusion (conref), beginning
with the paragraph "The attribute specifications on the resolved element
can be drawn from both the referencing element and the referenced
element, according to the following priority:". Is that correct?
