In Safari, as in Firefox, you can already ensure a link opens in the 
same window by dragging it and dropping it on the address field. So 
there are multiple reasonable ways for a UA to implement it, just as 
there are multiple reasonable ways for a UA to indicate whether a link 
is specified to open in a new window in the first place. So it is fair 
for HTML5 to encourage those things, but beyond that, this discussion 
may be getting a bit off-topic.
