If this isn't the list for discussing the pros and cons of the target
attribute, it certainly is not the list for insulting those with carefully
considered _technical_ reservations about the use of frames and target
attributes with the value "_new"!

Please take that particular discussion elsewhere.


Given your apparent opinion on the issue, might I suggest you carefully
consider -- in best Advocatus Diaboli style -- what arguments might
persuade /you/ that frames/target are best avoided and let
public-evangelist@w3.org know. A dissenting point of view would be very
valuable in finding the best way to communicate best practices to the
general public.
