...thus replacing some non-strict XHTML attribute with some
non-strict (and more complex, and potentially unsafe) Javascript.  

This is one of those areas where I think that a strict adherence 
to standards leads to completely absurd outcomes.  Still, I recognize
that there are people who don't have a choice in the matter, so
perhaps we can come up with a recipe to get %target=whatever% to
generate the javascript above instead.
