This is, for what it is worth, my understanding too. All of the minutes say things like "I don't have strong feelings" etc. 

> FWIW, I don't think "reference target" is any better in that regard. It's equally confusing because the confusion stems from the semantics of this new attribute, not from its name. 

Idk, I personally think it's a bit clearer than `delegatesTo` because there's not a few different kinds of confusion that already use 'delegates' and say something specific. At the same time, I don't think any of the options we've come up with yet is great".  Personally I kind of liked refs because I felt like "if they're all going to be slightly unclear/have to be learned - at least be short", but I can appreciate that others don't like that trade off.
