That may have been me. I said something similar, but I think you've misrepresented what I meant. >HTML has never let the user dictate how it's parsed. The web is >meant to easily interconnect sets of data and let the user decide >how to travese it ... but it's also meant to allow content >publishers to easily make that data available in a manner they the >publisher choose.) What I was referring to, is that HTML is structural and contextual mark up, and individual visual user agents (web browsers) are mostly free to display HTML however they wish. The point being, publishers provide the data, and the user (or browser) decides how to view it. Pop-ups arguably fly in the face of this, as they dictate a specific user interface. From the other side, it also breaks standard user interface guidelines in that it isn't immediately obviously whether a hyperlink will open in the same window, or in a pop-up window. Windows which open themselves are also bad UI. But I don't want this to be a technical discussion, some people seem to like pop-ups, and some don't, so I'll opt out now...
