The CSS property add a possibility for UAs to implement
|target="_blank"| with CSS which gives the possibility for User Style

:link[target="_blank"],:visited[target="_blank"]{
target: window
}

Ever heard of XLink, XHTML 2.0, HLink and possible other languages that
define a general way of linking from each element?
