Is there something wrong with "go to" whatever section?
It's been said that "go to" could imply to someone using a screen
reader that the link will take them to another page. You might prefer
to say "Go to ... on this page".
Joe Clark had an entry in Axxlog a while back that discussed the
terminology "Skip to" - that might be what Terrence was talking about.

Joe writes (of screen reader users in an accessibility presentation):
~~
Most did not know about the link
- “skip navigation” is jargon
- “skip to content” Jaws mispronounces
- “skip to main content” seems best

I think we have discussed this here before(?) and many decided "Jump
to" was a good compromise while still implying the link moves the
user to another place on the current page.
Simply putting "Main content" might be confusing. Users might wonder
if it meant the main content of the site as a whole and if the page
they were viewing merely contained peripheral info.
