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?

How do we choose what external sites we give special preference to?

Usefulness to the reader, Editorial discretion.
