The CDR spec points out that different specs have different behavior for the "_self" value of the target attribute on links, and it is indeed the case that the SVG Tiny 1.2 spec requests something different than HTML. The fact that this occurs is a problem and the spec should not encourage this. It tries to make some distinction based on "mostly replaced use" but consider a CDR scenario where the document included is a CDI - it would be majorly confusing that target="_self" would have different behavior for <svg:a> and <html:a> in the same document. WebCGM is somewhat different in this regard since it does not itself have a DOM or scripting and cannot participate in CDI. Therefore: - I request that the spec not encourage divergent definitions of the target attribute. - I request that the CDF working group formally raise this issue with the SVG working group (I will also make sure to raise it myself).
