> Behaviors are seen as outside the scope of CSS
Views and scopes are changing. Once generated content was considered
outside the scope of CSS (CSS 1)
but now it is deep inside and I can't imagine CSS2 without generated
content (at least it would be less effective).
If there are pseudo-classes like :hover, :focus, :active, :visited
why one should not extend CSS side control over links further?
At least CSS hyperlinks provide more productive and more accessible
solution and I don't think that it should be abandoned just because
someone may see it outside the scope of CSS. If there is opportunity to
improve accessibility and to make CSS more effective this opportunity
should not be missed.

So do I. But I think that if this issue will be controlled via CSS
(and not JS) then users will be able to adjust it from user style sheet
or browser default style sheet. If necessary one can also prevent XHTML
links from
opening in new window by setting
a[target="_blank"]{target:current}
in user style sheet.
