HTML techniques for 2.4.3

I was given the action item to review the HTML techniques for 2.4.3.

On January 31, 2006 I suggested to the team b list [1] that the HTML 
technique Skipping Ling Groups be removed.  John and Roberto Scano agreed, 
thus , unless there are objections, I think we should remove this as a 
sufficient technique.  Although, I think we should have an HTML technique 
about skip links (I couldn't find one).  We had discussion about whether 
or not skip links should be visible or not, but is there a skip link 
technique that I missed? 

I updated the Grouping Links[3] technique based on an earlier draft that 
suggested grouping links using lists, div and map.  I'm not certain how 
grouping links within a div helps accessibility but I created the example. 
 Please review.

There is another sufficient HTML technique title listed, Using frame 
elements to group blocks of repeated material AND Using the title 
attribute of the frame element. To be honest, I'm not sure how to do that? 
 To my knowledge, frame elements themselves can not have content so does 
this technique just suggest using framesets and grouping navigation links 
into one of the frames.  For example:
<frameset cols="20%, *">
   <frame src="navigation.html" name="navbar" title="Navigation Bar">
   <frame src="main.html" name="maincontent" title= "Main News Content" >
</frameset>
If, so, I can write that up.
