Interesting questions. Anchor text is very important. That’s how search engines understand about a page. The anchor text must be our keywords. Keywords are not too long. So it is kept short. PR is not dependant on anchor text but on count of inward links from high PR pages.

Will adding the headline and abstract of the article in to the anchor text help my page rank, or risk it considering the length og text within the link?
Has anyone ever heard of anchor text in a link being too long for search engines to consider valid?

Anchor text represent your site into other related sites. Putting your targeted keywords on it would increase its ranking to different search engines. When spiders crawl them, it would be a bump up to search engine ranking.

Like what other's saying it's very important in terms of SERP.It's better to use different variation of keywords as your anchor text to improved SERP.

Others even use the following format
Keyword 1 | keyword 2 | keyword 3 ...
Some proved they help.
Anchor text is the word you spread around on what you want to call for your site, of course arrange your keyword that is both presentable to users and search engines.
