One can certainly specify the media within a style sheet. (Just checked. Media type can go on LINK and STYLE elements.) That means that, to the unlikely extent, that the browser properly implements this, one can style the link as "display: none" for visual media and as normal for aural media. The thread was about hiding skip links when browsing visually. Of course, in practice, most designers are not aware of media qualifiers (a few may be aware of paged media qualifiers) and code blatantly visual only styles with no qualifier. This doesn't help when the users needs don't match the standard media classifications or they are using a tool for the wrong media type, which doesn't allow an alternative type to be specified.
