Browsers can do that with <form target=3D"">, and our implementation
adds an extension attribute to xforms:submission:

s#TOC-Specifying-an-HTML-target-window-or-frame-with-the-xxforms:target-att=

One issue is that pop-up blockers can interfere with this, at least in
our specific implementation where we have an Ajax request in between
(browsers should be smarter=85). This may or may not be an issue with a
100% client-side solution. Maybe Alain can comment on this?
