We are currently working on ditac 2.2, that's why we have reexamined
your support request. Sorry for this delay.

In fact, yes. The "product" conditional processing attributes is
additive and may inherit some of its values from its ancestors. Thus:
---
<topicref product="ShowProduct" href=foo.dita">
<topicref product="HideProduct" href="bar.dita"/>
</topicref>
---
is equivalent to:
---
<topicref product="ShowProduct" href=foo.dita">
<topicref product="ShowProduct HideProduct" href="bar.dita"/>
</topicref>
---
That's why topic bar.dita is *not* excluded by ditac.

product
Contains the name of the product to which the element applies. This is a
property attribute which supports conditional processing for filtering
or flagging. If no value is specified, but the attribute is specified on
an ancestor within a map or within the related-links section, the value
will cascade from the closest ancestor. The attribute takes a
space-delimited set of values.

Attributes and metadata that cascade
The following attributes and metadata elements cascade:
Attributes
* @audience, @platform, @product, @otherprops, @rev
...
Cascading is additive for attributes and metadata elements that accept
multiple values. For attributes that take a single value, the closest
value defined on a containing element takes effect.
