As Steve noted this is totally OK, we will remove role="main" as soon as 
IE complies with the spec and gives the main role to the main element by 
default.

Hm, I guess this could be a loose interpretation of a collection ;-)

I don’t know if

<a href="#nav" class="btn btn-jump" role="navigation">Jump to the 
navigation</a> (current)

is really worse than

<nav role="navigation" aria-label="Skip links">
<a href="#nav" class="btn btn-jump">Jump to the navigation</a>
</nav>

But I guess the latter is better practice, so I will adopt :-)

Cheers,
Eric
