Replacement for target=" ... "

Hello all
I'm using Google maps with overlays that require the page to be
written in XHTML strict to work in IE. Overlays on Google map work
well in FF with XHTML transitional.
I have some more links on this page that I would like to be openend in
another tab or window. But XHTML strict does not allow the use of the
target attribute.
Is there any replacement for this attribute that may be used with
XHTML strict ? Or is it not possible to direct the link into another
tab with HTML or XHTML strict ? I can't believe it !
That's why I guess that any of you experts know a way of solving that
problem.
Thanks in advance for any hint
BR

no version of html strict has included it either

Why?

Correct, it's a deprecated attribute.

You don't have much control over how your site will be rendered on the
client side. You don't even know if it will be displayed in something
that could be called a window at all, HTML simply doesn't care about
such things. So why bother? Let the user decide and that's it.

Of course you could use Transitional or a JavaScript to open the window,
but that would be a step back.

Well, believe it. It's a, uh, step forward. (-Really, a yuppie mentality
thang.)
