Actually, it _is_ an Opera issue. The URL reference "#" has a well-defined
meaning.

On the other hand, "back to top of page" links are worse than useless. Some
users might actually find them useful, but only because they don't know the
simple tools of their browsers. Others see the distracting pointless links.

> <a href="#top">go to top of page</a>

Well, that's a bit worse. An adequate link text seldom contains a verb
(predicate) and hardly ever in the imperative.
