Notice which section of the HTML specification 'target' is described in.  
That's right -- the Frames section. XHTML 1.1 doesn't have Frames. Neither  
will XHTML 2.0. @target is deprecated and doesn't exist in neither HTML  
4.01 Strict nor XHTML 1.0 Strict. Its use is prescribed and is behavioural.

'rel' values like 'alternate' and 'related' would make more advisory and  
semantic and would fit into everything from HTML 4.01 to XHTML 2.0 to  
HTML5.
