And if you have small icons like up arrow, left arrow marking links to
the top or previous page.. You don't want to write "a link to the
frontpage" in every place you have the link.  Then again, you cannot
expect all newbies to understand that up arrow is the symbol for
frontpage, when that even isn't true for every page.
