This change is supposed to mitigate dangling markup injections using
the target (and formtarget) attribute:
https://portswigger.net/research/evading-csp-with-dom-based-dangling-markup

This is mostly useful together with another mitigation for parsing
URLs, that isn't part of the specification yet:
https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/10022

I judge the possibility of real web content being impacted by this
change to be near zero.
