Can you restore this optional feature like in version 1.1.xx ("target=_blank" tag) ?

Actually it is really both reasons. The target attribute is not XHTML compliant and the reason it is not compliant is that browser behaviour is not something that is the business of markup or css; thats what javascript is for. There is another reason and that is there are accessability issues with opening links in new windows. I think you will find that during the next couple of years opening links in new windows will become something of a rarity.

It isn't valid under the XHTML 1.0 Strict doctype. XHTML 1 Strict doesn't allow the target attribute in any shape or form. Actually, it isn't even valid under HTML 4.01 Strict. If you want to know whats allowed in strict compared to transitional, see here

If your page validates with the target attribute then its a bug in the validator, it has a few.

Re: Opening links in another windows
bug in the validator in that case, i tested it when Smarty's posted that.
Re: Opening links in another windows
Well, as said above, it isn't supported in XHTML Strict, but in XHTML 1.0 Framset it is.
The reason for this is to let the users have control over their own webbrowsers.
