Poping up windows makes assumtion of the user's behaviour. I for one find it
very annoying when sites force open a new window. If I want to navigate a
link I open the link up in a new tab. Forcing the link to open up in a new
window doesn't make me stay on the site, it just makes me click extra to
close the page that I navigated from. If a site constantly pops open windows
I often just leave it.
I argue that it's best to leave the user to control these things as people
have very different habbits.

I totally agree .. in fact just having this conversation elsewhere. How
can javascript be more accessible when those most concerned with
accessibility will probably turn it off anyway? Makes no sense to have
this removed .. I open new windows all the time .. for PDFs .. for links
that go offsite, etc.

I just read how a target=”_blank” is not part of xhtml
Why not. I can't imagine its better practice to replace it with
javascript.
