Couldn't these use the target names: "_top", "_parent" (... child,
cousing, uncle, wife...) and so on that netscape allready supports?

How about this: there would be two kinds of popup windows, those that
have "close" buttons and then those that stay on until you move the mouse
away from them?

Do they really? I think they are not neaded as they consume precious
screen space (could this be optional).

As popup windows are floting objects (you can move them around), they
would be ideal places for things like site-spesific navigation buttons
(talking about navigation aids doesn't sound nice).  I know there is
allready the <BANNER> tag (element) for this purpose, but it isn't
movable.
