The target="_new" attribute is treated as a plain window name, not like
target="_blank".  This means that multiple links using target="_new" all open
in the same window (named "_new").

On Firefox 2.0.0.4, using target="_new" behaves the same as target="_blank".

Opera 9.21 behaves the same as Safari 3.0 (522.11) with a local debug build of
WebKit r23546.

It would be interesting to know how MSIE 6/7 behaves.

The target="_new" attribute is not specified in the HTML 5 spec:
