a brief googling about target=blank versus XHTML strict
suggests that one needs to employ javascript to open a new window
when clicking a link, to be XHTML strict complient.
Many comments suggest not to bother....

and w3.org CSS3 draft suggests a target= property....

align=center should be dropped in favour of style='text-align:center;'

>>center<< does a nice job in being converted to
<div style='text-align:center;'>
