One side effect of the new behavior I requested whereby the topicref insertion dialog remembers the last topicref type used is that if you insert a map reference and then insert a topicref, you'll get a mapref by default, which is never right. Would it be possible for the insertion dialog to look at the type of the target, once it is selected, and select the first topicref that specifies a value for format that matches the target type if the currently-selected type isn't appropriate? That is, given that I last inserted a topic and I select a map, see if there are any available topicref types that specify format="ditamap" and, if so, select the first one. For DITA 1.2 there will usually be at least <mapref> in the default map shell doctype. If I last inserted a map and I select a topic and the currently-select topicref type specifies format="ditamap", select either the first topicref type in the list, or more usefully, the last-used topicref-to-a-topic type. That is, if the insertion dialog can select a good default for refs to maps and topics and remember the last type used for each type of reference, it would have the effect of making the insertion dialog select the mostly-likely-to-be-right topicref type regardless of whether I'm inserting a map or topic.
