RE: skip to content, where and how many?

It is perfectly logical to have an empty anchor specifying a position in a
page to which a link can jump. When you require that the anchor enclose text
of the content, then it has to be coded for every page and is not part of
the template. There is no "implementation" of a Local target for a link
beyond being a position in the document. The user agents I use implement
this just fine, namely, when I follow a link to that empty anchor the page
is repositioned with that appropriate part of the document at the top.
