Technically this could be achieved via non-standard CSS - assigning the
target on click, via the behaviour attribute.

But this is proprietory IE-only stuff, not part of the spec. Yet.

And if you're wanting to avoid the strict xhtml target problem and still
have your pages validate (and it's something more than a few of us have
stumbled over) then you'll probably be wanting to use 100% valid standard
CSS anyway.
