Everyone one likes to know what a link will do b4 u click it.
So we now have lovely icons (thanks to css) that tell us if a link is a pdf, jpg, mp3 or whatever.
I’m not completely convinced by it all as an accessibility thing, but i like tiny pixel drawings as much as the next person 
We also have icons identifying an external link / resource, but what i was looking for is a different ICON that says “I’m a local resource, but when you click me I happen to open in a new window”. Got css, need icon.
The nice people on the brighton new media list sent me in the direction of this on latest7
and this less 2.0 version
It would be nice to have a standard for these little icons.

Ah yes, I should have thought of that when you and Paolo first mentioned it.
The 1.0 version is what we use in Sussex Direct, so that will be nice and consistent for Uni users.
