    <thetext>The targets of most (or all) links for attributes and method names, etc., in IDLs in the spec currently point to IDs that are in sections marked with &quot;impl&quot;. Those sections get dropped from the author view (&quot;Hide UA text&quot; view) of the spec, which effectively results in breaking all the links.

The ID references for those IDL attributes, method names, etc., should instead by changed to point to the corresponding content in the domintro boxes (which are also included as part of the author view), so that the links are not broken for users of the author view.</thetext>

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: Those aren&apos;t the definitions, so it&apos;d be wrong to point there. I&apos;d love to find another solution though. Not sure what that would be though.</thetext>
