Frames are only for backwards compatibility in HTML 4 Transitional and HTML 4
Frameset DTDs. In HTML 4.01, the DTD you are using, are no frames, and if
there are no frames, no target attribute [1] is needed, therfore you have to
use a Transitional DTD.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
[1] there is e.g. _blank that does not refer to any frame, therfore target
should be still included in strict dtd ... but i'm not writing the
recommendations :-)
