I agree with that, but determining a window is markup to me, not
styling.

I never said it was styling -- it's controlling behaviour, which can
be done with Javascript.

Yes, but it should be available without javascript as well.

Why should it be available without Javascript? If it's possible to alter
behaviour without Javascript, shouldn't it also be possible to alter font
colours without CSS?

Font colour (haha, "colour" - cracks me up everytime I see it) is styling.
I would say that there is at least a strong suggestion that the frame of a
page, or "housing" if you prefer, falls under the scope of structure. I
suspect (but can't prove) the w3c only removed "target" in a misguided
attempt to "whip those clueless new-window-opening pagemakers into line."
The proper way, of course, is for the user to manifest his preferences via
the browser.
