Here's another demo to reproduce the "broken" back button: 1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker 2. Click the "Innovation" link in the ToC on the right 3. Click the "Entertainment" link (you can just see it) under the "Innovation" one. 4. Click the back button. 5. Observe how you're not taken back to Hacker News. Now imagine this is a really long page of FAQs, with a "Return to top" after each question, and the same ToC at the top (something a clueless user probably sees everyday [I know I do on O2's site all the time]). You can see how it begins to look like a browser implementation problem. Maybe the browser should automatically pop all "#<identifier>"s associated with a URL from its history stack if a user reaches the original URL again (via backs or clicking some in-page link, doesn't matter); I don't know. But I honestly consider this a browser implementation problem, not a web developer problem. I think anything we've been doing till now has been to mitigate this and we shouldn't have to.
