[TYPO3-dev] Default behaviour for PAGE_TARGET in 4.1

Hey,

I am developing a lot of web-sites with TYPO3 now, and one thing that 
annoys me is the Template Constant "PAGE_TARGET" which is the "Default 
target for internal links". Hmm, this was indeed very very useful back 
with TYPO3 3.5 when a lot of websites were built with frames. But 
nowadays: who does websites still with frames? I think it's definitely 
*not* the majority. That's why I would suggest to change the default 
behaviour to "".
Right now, the default behaviour is "PAGE_TARGET = page", but I would 
just change the static code to "PAGE_TARGET = " for new installations (= 
for 4.1), so a lot of admins don't have to think about this annoying 
thing every time. After all, we want to help new people getting a site 
up and running with almost no configuration in very short time.

But maybe I am missing something here or just don't see that it's needed 
in a bunch of other places too. Otherwise if now complains are here, I 
would open up a bug report (and a solution with patch) and maybe we will 
get the new behaviour into 4.1 final. What do you think?

Of course, since it is just a default behaviour, most installations 
already running wouldn't have any problems when upgrading to 4.1
