I still use the 'skip' so as to convey that the link is within the page. Similar logic applies to 'Back/Return to top'. Is my logic flawed in this regard? What do usability gurus out there think?

In discussion's I've been involved in, the best link text describes the link's destination, not the action it takes -- this is pretty much how most other navigation works.

So....
"skip to content" => "main content"

"main content" is preferred because it gets pronounced properly by screen readers.

I describe accesskeys in an accessibility page, and don't bother markingup or styling them in any way to exposed them to users. I use content generation in my own user stylesheet to see them.

Using the title attribute to descibe the accesskey is a good idea.
