Hi,

We’ve very recently implemented GCPM bookmarks in WeasyPrint, but we 
left bookmark-target out. I could not find an use case, and did not 
quite understand what the property is supposed to do.

The spec is unclear but I can imagine that with an URI composed of only 
a fragment: `url(#foo)`, the bookmark could behave as if it had been set 
on the element pointed to by the fragment. But I’m not sure what is the 
use case. With an URI to an external document however (as in example 37) 
I just don’t understand what it does.
