So long as Javascript is enabled, there are many ways for a rogue site
to generate HTTP requests to another site, and to obscure where a link
really leads.  Not many DBAs are going to turn Javascript off *and*
check every link target before following it.

However, I think XSS issues are generally treated as not meriting a
DSA/DLA by themselves.
