Using the middle-button click and/or control-left click open still works the same with the 'target="_blank"' specified so this wouldn't affect the way you do things anyway

Exactly. Doing "target='_blank'" would not help me. But it would be detrimental to others.

In a site full of ordinary users, maybe "target='_blank'" is called for. But HN is aimed at the kind of people who are knowledgeable about their computers.
