[DJW:] There's no need for this attribute for this
purpose; anyone sufficiently aware of accessibility
issues to use it would not use javascript: URLs but
would use:
<a href="link1.html"
onclick=":_win('link1.html',abc, def); return false;">
Noting that, in practice, GUI browsers treat enter
as equivalent to a simple click (although an
onactivate, which I believe is in recent proposals,
would be better than onclick, if it were widely
implemented).
The problem is a lack of awareness of anything
except recent GUI browsers, not the lack of a
feature.
