I just did a little bit of checking on this, and the "[href][target]"
portions are "attribute selectors", introduced in CSS2.  According
to blooberry.com, many browsers (notably IE6) don't support this yet :-(,
the only ones listed are Netscape 6 and Opera 4.

IE6 doesn't support the ":before" pseudo-element or content attribute
yet, either.  Still, this will be very cool and useful when it does 
become supported.
