What should control it is the browser's desire. Web pages that cause
new browser windows to pop up don't get visited much because they
violates the user's expectation. Often people have popup blockers added
to their browsers just to prevent this kind of thing.
The "target" attribute was removed from the strict DTD's so people would
stop doing this.
If you really want to drive people away from your page, however, you can
still do it and a google search will allow you to find out how.
