    Since the original window is still there, there is no need to  
navigate back to to it.

    FWIW:  We recommend target="_blank" for most external links since,  
as people wander off to other sites, they tend to get immersed in  
finding new things and may not even be able to find their way back 20  
or so "back" clicks later.  Closing windows still leaves the original  
site easily available.
