I did a quick check of PC browsers (IE 6, Mozilla Firefox 0.8, Netscape 
7.1, Opera 7.23):
___________________________

Test #1: <a href="#top"> with no corresponding <a name="top">

Jump:           IE, Firefox, Netscape
No jump:        Opera
___________________________

Test #2: <a href="#unknown"> with no corresponding <a name="unknown">

Jump:           Firefox, Netscape
No jump:        IE, Opera
___________________________

Conclusion: don't omit the anchor tag, even if it's "top".
