>>If you get a user to click a link in an email you already bypass content and
spam filters along with much more.  The bug here is simply that you can
have the linked content open in place instead of a new window.<<

Do you know the term Phishing, I think that's what the concern is with
this. It's not that the external references are loaded, it's that they can
appear to be loaded from one place while in fact they are coming from
another. It's very similar to the MS04-004 bug for incorrect parsing of
URLs.
