Re: Target and targetid on load and sumission element

Hi Nick,

At one point, the thinking around adding the targetref attribute to 
submission was that it would start out in v1.1 only having a semantic 
under replace="instance"/"text" but later be extended to having an 
appropriate semantic for replace="all".
So, maybe the right course is to add targetref to load, and also to amend 
your action item to update targetref on submission, rather than adding 
targetid.

The differences are that the targetref expression can dynamically control 
the target, but it makes a static target a bit harder. 
However, the latter issue could be mitigated by having the semantic for 
replac="all"  include recognition of a string literal, so that 
targetid="X" could be achieved with targetref=" 'X' ".

All, 

I have an action item [1] to add a target attribute to submission (used 
when replace-all is specified). I think we should also add this attribute 
to the load action.

We've added a targetid to the load action to be able to embed a form. I 
think we should also add this attribute to the submission element. (The 
form embedding requires still a lot of work in the spec, I'm going to work 
on this today and tomorrow, and will be asking feedback on Wednesdays 
call). 

Kind regards,
