exactly, but what Jonathan C meant (if your message refers to it)
is that you can have a certain order that makes sense in screenreaders
and text-only browsers etc by ordering content in your html document
a certain way (e.g. having navigation code at the end of your html) but
then use positioning to re-organise the order visually for users of
graphical browsers (e.g. having the navigation visually at the top, before
the rest of the page).
