Ah, thanks for the reminder! I had forgotten to place the navigation after
the content. My skip nav is indeed redundant, though the question was still
valid since I have now changed it to a "jump to content" link (still hidden
with left:-999px), though rather unnecessary except for text-only browsers
perhaps. Thanks again.
