IE, NS and Opera do this. I've used no other graphical browser.
I don't know, isn't messing the status line considered bad taste? And
how about those browsers that do not support javascript or the user
has chosen to disable it?

When navigating to an anchor, IE scrolls the page so that the anchor
is on the topmost line. So it won't just loop you back to the current
point. Can't one use an empty string for an href?
