I've noticed that a lot of links that are not external links to another site are opening new tabs. I end up with lots of tabs open to openmobilealliance.org while just browsing. target="_blank" is usually used for either external links to another site, and when you want the user's session with your own site to not end. I would say, internal links should probably not use target="_blank", unless there's a specific reason to use it. Maybe when it's opening a document or different type of media.

This is more of an opinion as there are no hard and fast rules. However, in this case, I think it's used too much as I am having to close a lot of tabs after just a few clicks around the site.

This was more of a suggestion and opinion than a specific bug or issue, so feel free to close this issue if you're happy with the way things are.
