Example: How attributes cascade from one map to another

This section is non-normative.

In this scenario, attributes in one map cascade to a nested map.

<map>
  <topicref href="a.ditamap" format="ditamap" toc="no"/>
  <mapref   href="b.ditamap" audience="developer"/>
  <mapref   href="c.ditamap#branch2" platform="myPlatform"/>
</map>

• The map a.ditamap is treated as if toc="no" is specified on the root <map> element. This means that the topics that are referenced by a.ditamap do not appear in the navigation generated by test.ditamap, except for branches within the map that explicitly set toc="yes".
• The map b.ditamap is treated as if audience="developer" is set on the root <map> element. If the @audience attribute is already set on the root <map> element within b.ditamap, the value "developer" is added to any existing values.
• The element with id="branch2" within the map c.ditamap is treated as if platform="myPlatform" is specified on that element. If the @platform attribute is already specified on the element with id="branch", the valuemyPlatform is added to existing values.
