Question on "Elements that may refer to elements within maps or topics"

    Hi everyone, I have a question regarding this part of the DITA 1.2 spec: "For elements that may only refer to topics or non-DITA resources, the value of the keyref attribute is a key name. For elements that may refer to elements within maps or topics, the value of the keyref attribute is a key name, a solidus ("/"), and the ID of the target element, where the key name must be bound to either the map or topic that contains the target element."( http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/common/thekeyrefa ttribute.html) What elements may refer to elements within topics, and what elements may refer only to topics or non-DITA resources? For example, <xref> obviously may refer to an element within a topic, and <link> may refer only to a topic or non-DITA resource. What about <keyword>, <image>, <ph>, etc.?
