One thing highlighted at an accessibility site design awards ceremony
I recently attended was the wish for developers to include a site
map link at the head jump links on all pages so non-sighted users
could immediately jump to the page and get a feel for site relevance
to search topic, especially when hitting a site - often for the first
time - when Googling.
This is similar to responses I've got about how a group of visitors to
my site like to surf web sites - by using a separate site map.
This was requested as a key development feature by the head of the
British National Blind Library.
Wouldn't this request be met by providing link-relations like:
<link rel="home" href="../index.html" />
<link rel="contents" href="maincontent.html" />
... on all pages?

I know there are browsers that doesn't make use of these, but how many
shortcomings in browsers should we cover up for - if we want them to
catch up?
