Thanks for the link to this interesting article. I had not seen this
before. I'm not sure I am convinced that the researchers have drawn
accurate, generalizable conclusions about the best practices for skip
navigation links, but they raise some points worth considering.

I thought that many JAWS users don't actually make use of the skip
navigation links at all, because they have set the browser to skip the
repeated section at the top of each page automatically or because they use
other shortcuts to jump to headings or something. Maybe it depends on what
version of JAWS one uses, or on how experienced one is with it?

Phil.
