That’s because the page declares the XHTML 1.0 Strict document type, 
which does not have that attribute-

You could declare the XHTML 1.0 Transitional document type instead:

<!DOCTYPE html
      PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

This change may affect the browser mode. The details of doctype sniffing 
are messy; the compilation http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ is not quite 
up-to-date (it’s table of browser modes does not cover currently used 
browsers).

So it might be better to just ignore this error message. Or maybe remove 
the attribute – it is seldom useful to try to force pages to open in a 
new window or a new tab.
