To me it says make sure that the contents is physically ordered in the order in which most people would want to read it. In particular, this means such that "skip navigation" links are more or less redundant becuse the user is presented with the prime contents, or at least the front loaded first paragraph, that acts as an abstract of the contents, before anything else. "Front loading" is a desirable in writing information containing web pages. It basically means summarising the contents of the page in the first line, and again, in more detail, in the first paragraph, so that someone can make a rapid decision as to whether they are on the right page for their needs.
