"skip to" are internal links, are they not? what is the alternative? how can you define what is content and what is navigation? sure, you could take a hardline approach and say that everything in the BODY is content, and that any navigation should reside in the HEAD as LINK elements, but that's...unrealistic at this stage. what are you proposing as a means to allow users to jump over the main navigation and straight to the content (or, vice versa, skip over the content and straight to the site navigation)? there are no agreed, standard mechanisms for this...or am i missing something? -- Patrick H.
