Re: [docbook-apps] Opening Xlinks in a new window

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

I think that is an oversight.  The xlink:title attribute is processed, so 
xlink:show should be too.  If set to "new", then I suppose the ulink.target 
value should be used, since effectively it is the same as a ulink.  Can you 
file a bug report on the DocBook SourceForge site so this can be tracked?
