(@target [1] will be available in HTML 5 though, and opening new windows/tabs is currently even specified in CSS 3 [2].) > So make every link open in the same window but inform the user when > the link leads to an external site so they can choose to open the > link the way they see fit. And still it's hypertext. Understanding the Web as a whole there is no concept like an "external site", so there might be no point in marking links as "external", especially when current document/sites fails in helping the user.
