I believe the w3c removed the target attribute from strict xhtml/html
specifically to dissaude authors from triggering client browsers to open
new windows unawares. So if you _really_ want to employ a new window, you
probably _should_ use javascript (with appropriate fallback) thereby
allowing new-window-haters a common method to avoid them.
