P.S. The documentation that I was referring to can be found here:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces/1.1_01/docs/tlddocs/
P.S.S. I checked the documentation that you were referencing and it actually states the following for the target attrib "target (h:commandLink only)"... it wraps so it's not immediately apparent that the two lines go together. :)

That is correct. The navigation just says where and if it should be a
redirect or not, it will output the content on the current stream.
There is no way that the server can target a new window for example
(without _javascript_ in the onload). The browser must open a new
window, then load a given URL in that window. Since it is browser
controlled, the JSF navigation class has no control over this, the
control is handled by the JSF controls.
As for the target attribute, I found the reference at this site's
documentation, it may be incorrect:
