Setting a ""ControlTemplate"" with a ""TargetType"" B on a control of type A causes Cider to hang.

For example:

		 <Window
		     xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
		     xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
		     Name="MainWindow"
		     Background="White"
		     Width="325" Height="300"
		     x:Class="AvalonCSWindowApplication.Window1"
		     Title="My Application">
		   <Window.Resources>
		     [<ControlTemplate] x:Key="ButtonEncutizer" TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
		       [<StackPanel>]
		         <Ellipse Width="40" Height="40" Fill="Orchid" />
		         [<TextBlock] Text="hoho"></TextBlock>
		       [</StackPanel>]
		     [</ControlTemplate>]
		   </Window.Resources>  
		   <Grid>
		     <Button Template="{StaticResource ButtonEncutizer}">Yoyo</Button>
		   </Grid>
		 </Window>

The RoutedEvent Property of ""EventTriggers"" in Control Templates Are Not Resolved:

For example, in the following example, the ""RoutedEvent"" properties cause design time failures:

		 [<ControlTemplate.Triggers>]             
		   [<EventTrigger] RoutedEvent="Canvas.MouseEnter">
		     [<EventTrigger.Actions>]
		       [<BeginStoryboard] Storyboard="{StaticResource PieceEntryStoryboard}" />
		     [</EventTrigger.Actions>]
		   [</EventTrigger>]
		   [<EventTrigger] RoutedEvent="Canvas.MouseLeave">
		     [<EventTrigger.Actions>]
		       [<BeginStoryboard] Storyboard="{StaticResource PieceExitStoryboard}" />
		     [</EventTrigger.Actions>]
		   [</EventTrigger>]
		  [</ControlTemplate.Triggers>]

The Value for a Trigger Condition Property is Not Resolved

For example, the following will result in an error indicationg that the 'True' value is not valid for the ""IsMouseOver"" property:

		 [<MultiTrigger>]
		 	[<MultiTrigger.Conditions>]
		 		<Condition Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"/>
		 	[</MultiTrigger.Conditions>]
		 	<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource CheckedBrush}"/>
		 [</MultiTrigger>]

A workaround to this issue is to explictly specify the value with element syntax:

		 [<MultiTrigger>]
		     [<MultiTrigger.Conditions>]
		         <Condition Property="IsMouseOver">

<Condition.Value>
<s:Bool>True</s:Bool>
</Condition.Value>

		 	</Condition>
		     [</MultiTrigger.Conditions>]
		     <Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource CheckedBrush}"/>
		 [</MultiTrigger>]
