This feature wasn't added to the 4.2 DTD or the stylesheets
as far as I know.
I wouldn't wait for Xlink, because it doesn't help much
in this area. The xlink:show="new" attribute can specify a
new window, but it doesn't provide a place to *name*
the new window. It assumes '_blank' it seems.
Ulink does have a 'type' attribute which might be used
in your customization layer for naming a new window.
