If I recall correctly the decision was
to concatenate them. I'm not sure if we explicitly discussed what would
happen in terms of map overrides of an abstract with multiple shortdescs,
but my vote would be that the shortdesc in the map would override any and
all shortdescs in the target topic, rather than trying to pick and choose.

[dita] multiple shortdesc in an abstract
in a topic
In DITA 1.1, it appears that you can have more than
one shortdesc in an abstract in a topic.
If there are multiple shortdescs in an abstract,
what do you do with them all? Use the first?
Combine them somehow? If you need to override a
shortdesc in a topic with a shortdesc from a map
(topicmeta), and there is more than one in the topic,
which one do you replace? Or do you replace them all?
