RE: source order, skip links and structural labels

I personally disagree with structural labels, where useful (and important) information as hx elements are hiddeand available only for screen reader users. Headers are useful also for other disabilities (eg. Cognitive disabilities).

    but wanted to pass it along before heading to Madison).

    FYI
    
    Last year, Russ Weakley, Lisa Miller and I did some research into the
    relevance and importance for screen reader users of page source order,
    skip links and structural labels, which identify the navigation menus on
    the page. The results were presented at OZeWAI in December 2005.
    
    An article describing the research process and our findings is now
    available at http://www.usability.com.au/resources/source-order.cfm
    
    Information about Structural Labels and sample markup is available at
    http://www.maxdesign.com.au/2006/01/17/about-structural-labels/
