But I for one don't want that egg to hatch. Using skip links seems to me
like a very hacky way of compensating for current user agents' inability
to provide a user friendly way to skip block level elements etc natively
(e.g. "jump over this whole list, jump to the next heading, etc").

IMHO, of course...
