Posting XHTML Strict Hyperlinks

Add

Hello hello! If like me you are trying to keep your markup nice and valid, you may have noticed that an old habit will invalidate your script. Specifying target=”" will invalidate Strict XHTML 1.0 Here are some examples:

BAD! BAD BAD!

<a href="http://waavoo.com" target="_blank">WAAVOO!</a>

GOOD GOOD GOOD!

<a href="http://waavoo.com" title="waavoo" rel="external nofollow">WAAVOO!</a>

Hope this helps all those standards sticklers out there.
