Re: Home button on left, clickable tabindex=-1 logo on the right

As a screen reader user, i would prefer the logo to not be in the tab order in this case, especially if the logo has an all that has logo. i could even see demoting the link to a clickable item as long as the logo and home icon consistly go to exactly the same target.
Best wishes,
