Its an xhtml thing.  We can just as easily not have the target in there
(which is what I have been doing;) or come to some other type solution.
Since JS is about the only other solution that I have seen (I don't believe
there is a target in css) then thats what the article is bringing up:)

It wouldn't be everywhere, just where we need to open a new window like the
links or referers;)
