This one confused me for a while.

Structural markup says "this string is that type of element" and leaves it 
at that. Presentational markup says "this string is that type of element 
and it must behave in a specified way". When you add the target attribute 
you are taking a link and specifying how it behaves.

Not all devices that access the web have windows - just as not all devices 
that access the web have colour, or even graphics.
