    What Michael described is how the DITA Open Toolkit works. There is an
    example here:

    I'm in favour of using both, with the source's attributes winning in a
    pitched battle. IE, the conreffing element can override attributes on the
    target, where necessary (eg adding a conditional property, or an
    outputclass value...)

    I could not find this in our doc:
    
    When I conref an element, should I used the attributes from the source or
    from the target? My first idea is to use the target's attributes.
    
    What do you think?
