A the time I started soours.com on dixiesys, there was a lengthy discussion around the web design community (what was to become the WaSP), about the bad habit of opening another window (remember, those were pre-Firefox days, tabbed browsing was in infancy), mainly using target=_"blank". Read about it in this discussion on a W3C forum. I also remember that Jeffrey Zeldman used the not-so-well documented target=_"eljefe".
