4- Normal testers would wonder how to activate a link with the keyboard.
I think the testcase should indicate this: tab key (or shift+tab) and
then press Enter key.

5- Some browsers like Opera 11.50 will not activate links with the
keyboard if - I am not sure of this - they do not have an accesskey or a
tabindex. If the testcase really needs to have a keyboard navigation
sub-test, then I think 2. Link B and 3. Link C should have a tabindex
and an accesskey.

6- :target is a CSS3 pseudo-class. Although it isn't part of the test
itself, it may affect the capability of the tester to be notified
if/when the links were activated with the keyboard.
