Brian, I think you are confusing this:
    https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVViewController.m#L483

For the whitelist, which is this, which is lower level and intercepts
all network requests:
  https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVWhitelist.m

target=_blank  -- no for iOS. You must remember we are trying to open
URLs that are NOT in the whitelist.
