Thanks for the suggestion.  I've updated
http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Links_to_Unrelated_Browsing_Contexts with a
second proposed solution for target=_unrelated (similar to target=_blank,
but in an unrelated context).  It works better for the window.open case as
well.

Any feedback on this revised approach?

Thanks,
Charlie
