Hi Jonathan,
I agree with your interpretation, strictly speaking, of the 2.4.3 criterion. We like people to use skip links because real people have to use the sites we assess. Passing the letter of the success criteria is one thing. Giving people a good experience is another. In this case, it would be like us saying "It passes. Too bad for you." I'm exaggerating to make a point, here.

Thanks.

Jim
