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

Ah,  It is action I said.  main content if it is written that way should be 
a link, but it should be clearly bounded as a table of contents item.  If 
however, you want to "go to main content" it should be a button.  A subtle 
distinction but an important one for usability.

So why do you suggest "a main content button"?

Links take users to content - so anything that takes the user to the
main content of the page should surely be a link? The button wouldn't
_do_ anything to the main content.
