I agree about the issue of the content being a footer. We might just
say something like:

"A mechanism shall be available to bypass blocks of content that are
repeated on multiple Web pages, except where such content constitutes
the bottom end of the web page."

I have a slight issue on the testability of : "A mechanism shall be
available to bypass blocks of content that are repeated on multiple Web
pages."

What exactly constitutes a 'block of content'?

Also if the repeated content is the last thing on the page, is a bypass
still necessary? If so, where should it bypass too?
