Links that are useless to the reader should almost never be
incorporated in the "Standard way", except when they're somehow
official (e.g. any company's website should be linked from its
article, even if the website is less than useless). But whether an
external link is "normal" or "floaty-boxed" is the question asked
here. Normally Wikimedia sites are floaty-boxed, and all other sites
are normal-linked. Whether the "floaty-link" is all that special
isn't clear to me, but a few people seem to think it's a special
treatment, anyhow.
What is the comparitive advantage of a floaty-box over a regular xlink, anyhow?

Usefulness to the reader, Editorial discretion.
