I think the resolution was that the TC requests that the
author group consider making the terminology unambiguous.
The proposed terminology (paraphrased):
The element with the referencing attribute (href, conref, keyref, etc.)
is always the referencing element, regardless of the behavior of the
reference.
The referenced element is the element specified in the referencing
attribute (or the resolved target of an indirect reference) of the
referencing element.
This does not make it easier to explain conactions,
but the best we can do is make sure the terminology is unambiguous. For
example:
When using conref pull (no conaction specified), the referenced element
replaces the referencing element.
When using conref push, the referencing element replaces the referenced
element.
(BTW, Don said specifically that he was sensitive to making
resolutions that impact arch spec activities.)
