DeferredContentTargetModelElement (Surf Web Scripts 6.20.7 API)

All Superinterfaces:

ContentModelElement, ExtensibilityModelElement
```
public interface DeferredContentTargetModelElement
extends ContentModelElement
```
This is a ContentModelElement that does not produce any content when it is first rendered by instead relies on subsequently rendered DeferredContentSourceModelElement instances to populate it with data before its final content is flushed. This has been provided to act as a placeholder for CSS and JavaScript dependency requests that may be made by WebScripts rendered later on in the model.
