There are interesting questions raised by this attribute. It might be worthwhile to specify a bit more what the following text means:

 "src = URI
 This attribute specifies the location of an 
 external source for the contents of the 
 element. Actuation occurs as the default 
 action of a [DOM] load event for the element 
 that the attribute occurs on."

Example where "actuation" is not clear.

  <div class="news">
 <div class="newsitem"
   src="love-hate.html"
   srctype="text/html">
    <h property="title">Love is the new consensus </h>
    <p>Sharing love has been decided to achieving 
    consensus in international organization.</p>
 </div>
   </div>

- Are h and p replaced by the content linked by the src attribute?
- In terms of DOM, what does it mean? can a script on pieces of markup which have been loaded by URI?
- Is it a case for the changed attribute?
- When someone does a cut and paste, is it the rendered/replaced content which is cut and paste? or the initial content (here h and p)? If the first case, does it change in an authoring tool?
- what's happening with CSS when the initial content is being styled?
- What's happening if "love-hate.html" is not a real HTML file, but pieces of HTML code?
- In terms of accessibility, should both text be accessible, for example a screen reader? When it's an imagemap for navigation purpose has shown in 
  http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/mod-csImgMap.html
- In terms of indexing what does that mean to actuate the link?
