Re: Skip Links and ARIA Landmarks for Sighted Users

I've been saying for years that the single most significant thing that
could happen to improve accessibility for all users is for standard
browsers to support navigation by landmarks and headings.

I'd love to have this functionality. I know there have been efforts to
get browsers to support this functionality, but I don't think it's
gotten anywhere. If it ever happened, the ugly, obtrusive hack of
"skip" links could finally go away.
