Ian, A requirement in the UA guidelines (if any) would be a special case checkpoints of checkpoint 7.6. Two potential checkpoints would deal with directly moving to the list of navigation links and/or skipping them. For example: "Provide one step access to the collection of links that have been identified by the author for navigation [Priority 3]" "Provide a one step to skip a collection of navigational links that have been identified by the author [Priority 3]" The reference to MAP would be in the techniques document as the best way to indicate a collection of navigational links in HTML. The UAAG techniques document could just reference the WCAG techniques on this issue. Other markup languages would have other techniques.
