If that's the desired behavior, then using "content" (and not "_content") is
the way of doing it by the specifications. Instead of "content" you can use
some other name that begins with a letter. The name may have some
accessibility impact, since in some environments, users might navigate
between windows using their names, so an informative name is useful; but
maybe it could even be descriptive of the type of content that there is in
the window.

No, "_new" is not in the specification.
