And the worse case is the XWiki Syntax help page, where we explicitly
encourage our users to use the invalid rel="_blank" attribute:

But Vincent, the problem is that these kind of links
are present in wiki
pages too, which do not depend on skins.
Example, in the watchlist:

Hi,
What we need to ensure is that people can still continue to write
XHTML-valid skins or use existing XHTML skins without problem.
+1 to support only HMTL5 **for the Flamingo skin**.
Thanks
-Vincent

Hello developers.
I am working on making the HTML 5 code of XWiki valid. But in some
places,
I cannot do it without breaking the XHTML
validity (which Colibri still
uses, but this skin is going to be deprecated).
Example:
in XHTML 1.0, the attribute target="_blank", for links, is forbidden. In
XWiki, we have "fixed" this by using the attribute rel="_blank"
instead,
and then we have a javascript snippet that dynamically adds the
target="_blank" attribute to these links [1]. So the code is valid until
the javascript is loaded, which is enough to pass our validation tests.
This is not very clean, since the target="_blank" was forbidden by the
w3c
because they think it should be the user choice
to open a link in a new
window or not. But nobody respects this, and that is why it is no longer
forbidden in HTML5.
The problem we have, is that the value "_blank" is not authorized
anymore
for the "rel" attribute of the links in
HTML5.
So I propose to remove our workaround, which is useless and prohibited
for
HTML5. As a consequence, we would lose the XHTML
validity (which is
actually the case when javascript is loaded anyway).
WDYT?
Guillaume
