Another place a "skip to" link is helpful is for people using PDAs. Cheryl D.

So in that regard I agree with you. In practice though, I think skip-to-content, as I prefer to call it, is a good practice for any website not just for text readers but also for folks who still like to use text only browsers. I don't necessarily see user agents being able to figure that out for users unless there is some type of markup in the code telling them apart. Because of this, I think the responsibility of adding skip-to-content links will continue to be up to the person who creates the site. Whether this is accessibility or a usability thing is what I have concerns with. But I'd prefer not to start another 'usability vs. accessibility' thread. :) [smiley face]
