Interpreting XML-LINK "SHOW" attribute specs

Hi all.

I am a little confused about the SHOW attribute.

Can someone verify my interpretation?

EMBED:
<x><foo>a <A XML-LINK="SIMPLE" SHOW="EMBED" HREF="b.html"/></foo></x>
.... might become:
<x><foo>a b</foo></x>

REPLACE:
<x><foo>a <A XML-LINK="SIMPLE" SHOW="REPLACE" HREF="b.html"/></foo></x>
.... might become:
b

.... or is it actually:
<x>b</x>

NEW:
<x><foo>a <A XML-LINK="SIMPLE" SHOW="NEW" HREF="b.html"/></foo</x>
.... might become:
b

The way HTML <A HREF>s work, is that SHOW="REPLACE" or SHOW="NEW"?
Is '<A HREF="blah.html" target="newTarget">' the behavior of SHOW="NEW"?

Your responses will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Patricia
