<snip>If the consensus is to open PDFs in new windows, I'm curious to
know if and how one might go about informing visually impaired users
that the link they are about to click on will open a new window and that
it is a PDF document and not a web page?

Title="This PDF will open in a new window. Please allow block ups on
this page."

And/or use the same jargon on the alt="" if the hyperlink is over an
image.

nonetheless. Don't call your sales persons'
customer without clearing it with the sales person first. I made that
mistake yesterday inquiring about a picture request for our website.
