Hi Charles,

Thanks for your opinion.

About the "skip to main content" link, I have heard suggestions said that
it's also useful for some other users (laptop users, etc) who can only
navigate by using keyboard. So maybe it should not be replaced even if AT
are all working well with ARIA landmark roles.
