In the new window case, one can always take advantage of one's bad
clients' general cluelessness by using JavaScript to spawn the new window,
and omitting the target="_blank". As they never turn JS off (and probably
don't know how to), they get the despicable behaviour they desire, while
your markup can remain as valid HTML 4.01 Strict. Anybody who regularly
browses with JS off will be used to using the back button as nature
intended, so nobody has a problem.

Regards,

Nick.
