I'm sure the assumption is that nobody but a blind person would want a "skip nav/skip to main content" link, and we wouldn't want to clutter the vast majority of people's displays with something intended for such a minuscule market. Sighted folks, of course, all use mice and can just click where they want to go. There is no such thing as a sighted person not using a mouse. This might sound a bit snide, but I'm sure it's very close to the thinking behind the approach.

My question, is why hid the link? other than it can be done? pReceived on Friday, 13 June 2003 11:12:15 UTC
