I recall reading somewhere that in HTML5 it was no longer okay to use target="_blank" in HTML5, but I can't find it now.
Is it alright to continue to use target="_blank"?
I know it's generally considered a bad idea, but it's by the easiest way to open a new window for something like a PDF, and it also doesn't require you to rely on JavaScript.
