Why would an author include the target element at all if he wants it to be removed immediately? This would also be the behavior if a Tiny user agent attempts to process a "Full" document which might have a value like begin="10:00" rather than begin="600s", does it make sense to discard the element immediately if the author really wanted to discard it after 10 minutes? -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
