In http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-UAAG10-TECHS-20000128/ article 4.16: there is an (implicit HTML) markup example of <a target="_new"> To make a long story short, replacing "_new" with "_blank" in the example, would be a good change. To keep a long story long: In HTML the value of target must begin with a letter [a-zA-Z] unless it is a reserved name starting with an underscore. "_new" is not one of these reserved names. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-frame-target where it says: "6.16 Frame target names Except for the reserved names listed below, frame target names (%FrameTarget; in the DTD) must begin with an alphabetic character (a-zA-Z). User agents should ignore all other target names."
