Maybe this is off-topic, but I'm curious why Opera supports navigation
by headings, while other visual browsers don't support it.

Do you think visual browsers with the script can be called as
"Accessibility Supported"? If the answer is yes and if you provide the
script which can be available across visual browsers, skip links seems
to be unnecessary for complying with SC 2.4.1, only to say about pages
with "good" headings.
