Search the ng archives for long discussions of this

Target doesn't work particularly well. Also it was usually used either
for frames, or annoyingly and inappropriately. So it was pulled from
Strict with the intention that something better would replace it ASAP
(that was 10 years ago).

Use transitional instead (works fine)

Use target and lose a trivial validity issue

Use JavaScript instead

Wait for its replacement.

XHTML 1.0 comes in Strict, Transitional and Frameset, same as HTML 4.01
