> hx-target attribute is explicitly declared as inherited on the enclosing div and, if it wasn’t, the button elements would not inherit the target from it.

So confusing. I'm pretty sure it should be "inheritable", because "inherited" on an attribute means the attribute is inherited, not the element's children will inherit the attribute.

UPDATE: or "inherit", sounds like a command, little less confusing.

I was going to make the same comment. "inherited" is the wrong word. I like "inherit" too. And it's a bit shorter which is always nice. I guess "bequeath" might work also?

That is one interpretation, but not the one I had reading it. I read it as "This target will be inherited by its children," rather than "This target is inherited from its parents," which, while a grammatical possibility, doesn't really make sense because you are specifying it right there with the equal sign.

Both "inherit" and "inheritable" have the same possible double readings. Something like "pass-to-children" or "pass-down" would remove the possible ambiguity, but I'm not sure like either better than "inherited".

yeah, i'm struggling w/it, willing to consider options

Maybe `heritable`?

or 'cascade' ?
