I just read how a target=”_blank” is not part of xhtml

You read wrong. It is not part of Strict (HTML or XHTML), it is part of Transitional.

Why not.

Opening new windows is behaviour and thus out of scope for a markup language that describes document structure and semantics.

  I can't imagine its better practice to replace it with javascript.

Not really - that makes it harder to filter out target="_blank" with a proxy.

Sticking to a single window is usually a better idea. http:// diveintoaccessibility.org/day_16_not_opening_new_windows.html
