Okay, just wondering if there's any way to use this attribute for link in CSS that will abide by the W3C standards.
(Note: if not the attribute than something that will perform the same task.)

target="_blank" in CSS...
Okay, I finished the site and decided to not use the target="_blank" attribute, or get into any Javascript. I just made a simple gallery template that will only sidetrack the user for a short moment.
a) Validation is important.
b) ...as is usability!
I've now finished the site and have grabbed a cheap .tk registration to showcase. It's bassboy.tk

Well you answered your own question I guess, sorry was going to reply.
I think the reason that the target attribute has been deprecated is that opening of new windows or not, is an UI issue and not really part of html code and it tends to frighten people when they see new windows appearing on their desktop 
and should be left under their control.
So accessibility and validation just about cover it.

For standards compliancy, and obtaining target for forms:
<form name="some_name" onsubmit="this.target='yourtarget'"> </form>
This is standard compliant, passes the W3C validation tests, and works just dandy
