To me, it is clear that page authors should not be able to control 
whether a page comes up in a window or a tab.

For historical reasons, I have no choice but to cede page authors some 
control over whether on a link click the new page replaces the old one 
or is opened in a new viewing area, and this distinction makes some 
sense.  But specifying what sort of new viewing area the page wants is 
not acceptable to me as a user and is fragile from a general perspective 
(what happens when someone devises a new method of creating a new 
viewing area?  Are we going to change the spec some more?).

I suspect and hope that this sentence was just an example of what is 
being considered and not necessarily representative of the actual 
direction the specification would take....
