Note:

AFAICS the empty

  <div class="titlepage">
    <div></div>
    <div></div>
  </div>

should not be there. (I also get this with a real
refentry, where
refpurpose has content)

The main issue is:

The output is invalid, I neither want nor need
target="_top". I think
that at least with the parameters I set, no target
attributes should be generated,
per default.

Something else (not really part of this bug report):

With this in the input doc:

  <refentryinfo>
    <title>foo Manual</title>
    <copyright>
      <year>2004</year>
    </copyright>
    <author>
      <firstname>Tobias</firstname>
      <surname>Reif</surname>
    </author>
    <releaseinfo>draft 2004-06</releaseinfo>
  </refentryinfo>

neither releaseinfo nor the copyright year appear in
the output
(neither in the man page nor in the (X)HTML version)
