Ch4 L6 hyperlinks part 2: target="_self"

[webmanz]

I'm wondering if Target="_self" is really necessary since by default if it stays on the same tab anyway. Don't get me  wrong, I'm glad Stef told us about it. I directing it towards the persons who created the attribute i.e group who developed html5. There must be other uses for it perhaps?

Not required. Sometimes though in code, it is good to be explicit.
