Some recent thoughts on the target spec. The choice of `id` seems to be indeed confusing as it indicates an unique value, while the target itself cannot be identified by the id. Summarizing the choices suggested in this space. I suggest that we change the term `id` to `kind`. Would love to hear from everyone’s thoughts
