UAs will probably never read DTDs (too large, too complex and it wouldn't help a thing). I guess you mean 'target-new' (and releated properties) can only be used when the element matches the ':link' or ':visited' pseudo-class? (Like AREA, LINK and A do in HTML 4.01.) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
