Re: new frames, and linking-a-07-t.svg

Perhaps there should be distinct conformance classes for implementations
that do and do not support new windows/tabs?  We could have Conforming
Dynamic SVG Viewers (currently the highest one) not require
xlink:show="" to do anything special, while Conforming Multi-Window
Dynamic SVG Viewers would.

Is that too big of a change to make at this point?
