A post-script to this:
My view here is optimistic that the visitor is actually interested in the
list I am presenting. Therefore I create the links with the _blank target to
assist them in perusing the list. To omit them is to assume your list is
uninteresting or will only have one link that is of interest, so the rest
can be left behind and possibly never seen again.

And that's all I have to sway about that. ;-)
