I always thought there was an _new as well. But apparently it's _blank.
Check:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-frame-target

Remember as of XHTML 1.0 Strict you'll have to start using Javascript.
(which is weird because it means you won't be able to load form results in
a different frame with target, you'll have to use JS...)
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#dtdentry_xhtml1-strict.dtd_form
(Careful: this page has all three DTDs and it's easy to scroll into the
next one by mistake.)
