Public bug reported:

as per http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=3705

An external RSS feed made available via the feed blocktype should open
in a new window.

I would amend this by saying: The user may want to choose as some people
see it as bad usability (cf. http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990530.html )
to open new links in a different browser window / tab. Thus, if possible
the regular function of "target="" when including a hyperlink could be
included and goes for all links that are associated with this RSS feed,
i.e. the feed address itself and the links to the individual feed items
if the condensed version is chosen.
