Re: Question on "skip to main content"

Conceptually, the idea is that you should layout the content so that
sections (including sections of the interface) are preceded by headings -
this includes the navigation, for instance as well as the content. Then
assistive technology users could do things like pull up the headings list
to jump to the area they needed.

HTML5 will have some additional elements which, if used properly, could
enhance this capability, such as the new 'section' and 'nav' elements.
