I haven't checked the spec but this implementation for _blank isn't going to be compatible with the web. I know because we (Opera) tried to not set window.opener for a new window created by a _blank link - it broke Google Docs' document manager screen interaction with the opened documents. If this is in the spec we had better drop it - perhaps a brand new value like <a target="_standalone" href="..."> could do the job but we can't change _blank.
