Hello,
As one of Chris' minions :) I am following up on his behalf, as we have
seen another issue related to this same topic. But before I get to that:

Great news, thank you!

Yes, but we'll make them *as* *short* *as* *possible*:

We're in the middle of some XML changes and probably won't get to look at
that until later in the week.

More good news! Thank you for the head's up and the great turn around on
issues.
I'm writing, instead of Chris, because as we attempted our own work-around
for the Microsoft limit we ran into what we think might be an XML Mind bug.
Since part of our 40-character problem came from using very descriptive id
attributes on our concept elements, we tried to follow this advice:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/14257
and give each of our concepts a short, fixed, id attribute.
Unfortunately that did not work, ditac was unable to find most of our cross
references.
I have created a sample set of files that illustrates this issue.
We're using version 1.1 (since 1.2 just came out) installed in the standard
location.
ditac.bbt is the batch file used to invoke ditac and provoke what we think
the bug is.
(I had to change the extension in order to be allowed to send it as an
attachment to this email, it should be a .bat file)
In this sample example, we do get a warning which we should not get.
The warning can be made to go away by changing the concept id attribute in
one of the files (and the corresponding xref in the other file.
Please let me know if you need any additional detail and/or if you have any
trouble with the attachments.
Thank you,
--Doug
