[Webkit-unassigned] [Bug 137597] Support activation behavior of link element

--- Comment #21 from Brady Eidson <beidson at apple.com> ---
Two primary questions for now:

1 - HTMLLinkElement, when clicked, handles the target attribute the same way HTMLAnchorElement does. But the spec makes absolutely no mention of the target attribute, or what it means in the context of a clickable link element. This seems wrong.

2 - HTMLAnchorElement does a lot more stuff in its click handler that HTMLLinkElement does *not* do. One example is running stripLeadingAndTrailingHTMLSpaces on the url string. Another seemingly critical example is running document().completeURL() on the string.

Why is it okay to do that differently?
