So, you "validate" to the strict DTD and then use some javascript
skulduggery to get around the fact that you are actually "realising"
something that belongs in transitional
Why not simply accept the fact that you are intentionally doing one single
thing that does not validate to a certain DTD?

See above. Validation is not a requirement, nor a be all and end all, it is
a handy tool. You *can* choose to ingore, knowingly, some validation
errors.

Oh happy days. I am now going to disable javascript so *I* have the choice
of opening your "external" link in a new window if *I* choose to (or not),
not if *you* choose me to :-)
