If you are using ARIA landmarks or HTML Sectioning element there is a simple script you can add to your web pages to provide a keyboard accessible "SkipTo" feature to the landmarks and top level headings for keyboard users. http://paypal.github.io/skipto/ Jon -----Original Message----- From: Patrick H.

Proper ARIA landmarks. 2 and 3 may be regarded as "sufficient" in terms of passing the letter of WCAG 2.0, but - as already noted - they do not help keyboard users without AT that supports additional navigation shortcuts based on headings/landmarks. For this reason, when auditing, I'd usually give sites that just use 2 or 3 a nominal PASS for 2.4.1, but then explicitly advise to still use 1 as well. P -- Patrick H.
