If that's your biggest concern, then I have good news for you. Firefox 4 
has a feature called App Tabs designed to address these use cases (I 
believe Chrome has something similar, but I don't use it so I don't 
actually know). More information here: 
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-app-tabs, but the relevant 
sentence is: "Links to new websites open in a new tab so that your App 
Tab doesn't change." I think this does exactly what you want.

In any case, this is fundamentally an issue for the user-agent, and not, 
I think, one that has much impact on the actual standards.
