``target="_new"'' sounds like Netscape 3/4, which handled targets prefixed with underscores specially but treated all others as literals (although they may have finally added things like "blank" eventually). "Nice" to see that someone got the swift idea of mishandling backward compatibility....

I use Netscape 4.79 and 'target="blank"' is how I do the 'open this link as a new window' command.(

As I said... they added it. Actually I think _new may have been a netscape3-ism, but some of us who're older than dirt :> still have it wired into our fingers. (Although I wasn't whoever did it to [livejournal.com profile] dglenn; I agree that in general it's a bad idea to force opening new windows.)
