For all practical means it shouldn't make a difference.
Target="_blank" explicitely says "Yo, browser, i want this to
appear in a new, nameless window".
Target="_new" supposedly says "OK, look for a window named
'_new', and load this URL into it. And if you don't find a window
named '_new', then create a new nameless window and call it '_new'."
So, if you click on another link that also has target=_new, and
the previously opened window is still available, it *should* load
the link into that window (instead of creating a new nameless one).
At least that's what i've seen so far. May have changed with the
newer browsers, though...
