Description

5.7 Fetch target could do with some clarification improvements:

  • 5.7.1. states what we are doing in all of 5.7
  • 5.7.3. includes multiple actions in one step of the specification

The whole section lacks specificity in how the targets metadata are used when performing the required actions.

Research direction

Start by reading section 5.7, especially steps 5.7.1 and 5.7.3, in the linked specification. Clarify the scope of the section, separate the multiple actions in 5.7.3, and make the use of targets metadata during the required actions specific enough to follow.
