@keithamus we already have type=button/submit/reset. would type=open be an option instead of adding another attribute?

@tb It's a little tricky but if that's a strong desire from the community I'm happy to pursue it.

@keithamus @tb Two downsides to this is it limits the feature (the auto action would be a toggle much like popovertarget rather than open), and also the button would fallback to a submit button in older browsers.
