\"Following up on an action item I accepted at the HCG call, I\'d like to
propose raising the following issue:

The current BP document says

> 5.2.8.2 What to test
>
> POP_UPS Machine Test: Look for the target attribute on links.

Given that there seem to be (future?) uses of target that have nothing
to do with pop ups, we should probably change this test.

It has been suggested that instead, we should check for target=\"new\"
