To pipe in extremely late on the matter - aside from it's deprecation from XHTML Strict, forcing users to open links in new windows introduces a host of usability problems. Including breaking the users expectations, taking away user control and of course the infamous breaking of the back button!
We all have no problems understanding what is going on when a site opens a page in a new window. This is not the case for the average user. To understand how severe the problem is, it is as simple as asking one of your grandparents to navigate to the page, click on the link that opens in a new window and ask them to go back to where they came from. Then watch them struggle. They simply don't grasp the concept. Of course if your web page/site is targeted to users who can understand this and requires frames and or the use of target for whatever reason, then it's simple. If you want your code to validate, as Hassan Schroeder mentioned choose the correct doctype and your on your way! Cheers.
