It has been, this evening, reworked into a more comprehensive listing,
and includes links to the source documents as well.

Thanks, Tim, for your work on this. Looking at the Mozilla sidebar, one
comment: please do not pop open new windows on every link (<base
target="_blank" />). The sidebars I use always set <base
target="_content" />, which opens the page in current window.

Hrm.... I didn't even know about the _content as an option... it's not
listed at

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-frame-target

I wonder from whence it came?

That said, both Mozilla and Opera support it, and it validates, so I
changed it, and will change the other sidebars I have that use _blank too!

Thanks for the tip!
