It might be good to spell out the behavior for each of the various
possibilities for the target attribute when activated from within a sandboxed
iframe. My expectation is that it would be defined as follows:

_blank  =>  fails
_self => navigates the iframe's browsing context
_parent => fails unless parent is top and the "sandboxed top-level navigation
browsing context flag" is not set
_top => fails unless the "sandboxed top-level navigation browsing context flag"
is not set
windowName => ok if windowName is
        a) the sandboxed iframe itself
        b) a descendent browsing context of the sandboxed iframe
        c) the top browsing context and the "sandboxed top-level navigation
browsing context flag" is not set
