JF,
The graphical view will scroll to the linked item, but not all browsers
move the tab indexing to the first link past the internal link (e.g. the
navigation bar being skipped).

Test page:
http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/courses/2002-02-REHAB711NC/sect508/sect508-web.html#main
Opera 6.0 does NOT move the tab index past the navigation bar (but using
the header navigation will, the S and W keys)
Netscape 4.x does NOT move the tab index past the navigation bar
Internet Explorer 6.0 does move the tab index past the navigation bar
Netscape 7.0 does move the tab index past the navigation bar
