For this kind of boilerplate rules, the most sensible solution is to use some sort of semi-automated method of generating the rulesets, using m4 or cpp or perl or shell functions or whatever you are comfortable with. This can just as easily handle absolute skipto as relative skipto, and doesn't open up the other problems that a relative skipto can cause.
