It's only deprecated in XHTML 1.1, which you almost certainly shouldn't
be using anyway since it's really not supposed to be served as
text/html. If you really want to jump on the XHTML bandwagon, stick
with XHTML 1.0.
And while some people might say "use the scrollbar or press Home"
That's always possible and why I never bother with back-to-top links.
1) Giving my BODY id="top" and linking to that seems to work but might
not be widely supported.
I'm not aware of any browser that doesn't support it, though it's
possible some older browsers may choke on it. If you use a container
element around the whole content, you could use that instead:
<body>
<div id="container">
... content ...
<a href="#container">top</a>
</div>
</body>
