On the topic of skip links, I'm having to re-find the JS I used in a past a11y competition for my new job. I think I found the original source of the code I used here @ http://www.communis.co.uk/blog/2009-06-02-skip-links-chrome-safari-and-added-wai-aria

It works great for all browsers including iPhone/iPad! Woo Hoo!

Jared what do you think about adding that code to your awesome example? Does require JS though.
