"Hi Tracy and Paul,

I know it is a weak argument, but the skip link is in the tab order and
its href appears in the status bar of the window. It is not completely
hidden from those who can see and cannot use the mouse.

Jim"

Hi Jim,

I can see you point and I know there are a good many developers who do
not want to place a viewable text skip to link on their web page. As far
as I am concerned if they are completely unwilling to do so, then I
advice them to attach it to a unseen graphic at the top of the page.
Still I have never thought about the fact some people have to tab
through all those links without the presence of a skip to main. It
really gives me another selling point to make to clients who want to
understand the point of complying with the guidelines.

Thanks
