actually, the most acceptable way of doing this is to make your site
accessible and attractive by structuring it so that it doesn't need
"ugly" things. For instance, if you set a page up so that links don't
have to be skipped you don't need a skip nav link. if you do something
other than d for a link and make it nice looking like use the graphic in
it with a good alt tag you can still play nice.

Subject: hiding accessibility features
I know we've had the discussion about why we should not make things
disappear by having the same background and foreground colours, but what
about using CSS {display:none} to 'hide' things like 'skip navigation'
and 'D' links?
Is this an acceptable way of adding accessibility features to a page
without creating ugly distractions for sighted visitors?
