Font colour (haha, "colour" - cracks me up everytime I see it) is styling.
I would say that there is at least a strong suggestion that the frame of a
page, or "housing" if you prefer, falls under the scope of structure. I
suspect (but can't prove) the w3c only removed "target" in a misguided
attempt to "whip those clueless new-window-opening pagemakers into line."
The proper way, of course, is for the user to manifest his preferences via
the browser.
