Actually, this link from the W3C suggests the use of both target and
title .. target to open the window and title to tell the user that a new
window will open.
Example 2: A link that opens in a new window
In HTML 4.01 the |target="_blank"| attribute can be used on an anchor
element to indicate that the URI specified by the href attribute will be
opened in a new window. This example shows using the |title| attribute
of the anchor element to provide information that the link will be
opened in a new window.
<a href="http://example.com/subscribe.html";
target="_blank"
title="link opens in new window">

That WCAG2 technique does not "suggest" the use of target. It merely
says that if people *do* use target that way, *then* that link can be
complemented with a title, i.e. that page is about the title attribute,
not the use of target per se, and it neither approves or disapproves of
its use.
