Fwiw, I use those (complicated) hide-from-sighted-users-but-not-from-AT {} less
and less these days, in favour of aria-label="". In the example you give, you
can omit the `label` from the search form, and just use <input type="search"
aria-label="search this site"><input type="submit" value="search"> (but all
depends on which browsers you need to support, goes without saying). As for the
‘skip to main content’ links, should that really be hidden from some users? A
sighted user navigating the page with the keyboard might benefit form seeing
that link…
And fwiw2, I don’t think you need those !important declarations in your rules.
Might simplify overriding them if needed. Of course, mind the specificity etc…
