That was ONLY a quick for-example's-sake example to simply get the idea 
across since a couple of members didn't seem to understand the "rule" as 
stated. I would typically only use something like that on an error page or 
another page I felt someone was going to be coming to from somewhere else on 
my site and not via a new window or tab.

But you're right, Back buttons rule and are the safest most usable route.

Regarding the deprecation of document.write, I added "I think." I put that 
because I am unsure and didn't want anyone to get the notion that I was 
certain about it. Somewhere along the way I was led to understand that 
document.write is no longer going to be the best way to add JS to pages.

Regarding tag soup and XHTML being served as text/html instead of 
application/xhtml+xml I have no comment and I don't even want to go there. 
It's a dead horse discussion.
