Re: Copywriting for Screenreaders (was Alt text for URL's)

part of structure is clarity.  Why not just call them what they are.  If I 
were doing a list of links, what would you want them to be?  How about 
navigation, main content, footer, or page footer, top of page... daily dose 
of laughter.  As I said, in a well organized and structured site, this is 
not a problem.  The idea of copywriting "skip..." for screen readers is 
utterly absurd though.

And how would they directly access the area of interest? With something
like an internal link to the relevant area...let's call them "skip links"
(or, if the name doesn't appeal, "'jump to' links" ;-)

Ok, sorry for the flippant reply, but I couldn't resist.
