Ok. But page counters are treacherous, the can be reset (as you
noted in your message). I think it should be possible for
implementation to determine next/same/previous pages without fetching
counter values.

Indeed, the use case is slim. Perhaps we can reduce the number of
arguments by only doing pages. I've added this simplified example to
the draft:
a:target-layout(attr(href url), same-page) { content: " on this page" }
a:target-layout(attr(href url), next-page) { content: " on the next page" }
a:target-layout(attr(href url), previous-page) { content: " on the previous page" }
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-gcpm/#conditional-text
Potentially, we could add more keywords:
a:target-layout(attr(href url), floated-right) { content: " on the right" }
a:target-layout(attr(href url), top-of-page) { content: " on the top" }
Or not.
