I'm loving the new APIs, among everything else. I like how they are actually moving towards a purely semantic markup language by getting rid of everything presentational.

I know it's already been removed in xhtml 1.1 strict but I still don't get why they're removing the target attribute there is no way to open links in a new window without the use of JavaScript now. Seems a bit silly to me. Also with the name attribute, for writing applications with php, with post variables ( $_POST['field_name']; ) does that apply for the id attribute as well ( $_POST['field_id']; )?
