Just a quick stop-by comment: was it considered that in the future there could be more than two split tabs in a browser tab? At the moment, the baseline assumption seems to be that there are at most two. I can well imagine that browsers would innovate more, and, for example, on wide screens allow a tab to be split in n split tabs.

Currently, since we don't have a use case for >2-way split, the proposal doesn't handle this explicitly. However, I think the proposal could be extended to handle that in the future. Ex. We could introduce a second attribute that allows takes a tab number/id, something like <a target='_split' split-tab='3'>. For now, we can track this as an open issue.
