Description

BookmarkablePageLink adds an attribute modifier to itself when setPageMap is called. However, it creates the attribute modifier in such a fashion that it is only applied when the target attribute is already in the markup. The initial goal to implement it like that was to make the change unobtrusive. I'm backtracking on that now though, as I now think it is actually half baked. I'd like to change the behavior so that it /always/ sets the target when you call setPageMap on it. This would mean that you'll popup another window if you try to link to a different page map in the same screen, but you shouldn't do that anyway.
