I thought target was part of the spec. In looking at the spec on
www.w3c.org, the following page specifically mentions the target attribute:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#edef-BASE
However, the DTD does not mention the target attribute so I'm a bit
confused. Perhaps target will be superceded by a style-sheet
specification? If you don't want to change the base tag implementation I
will just plan on creating my own subclass.
Thanks.
