Thanks David, much appreciate your feedback. That's exactly what I thought, but I'm not inclined to assume anything.
As you mention, I'm experimenting with moving the "skip to content" link off screen with a margin-left of -9999em, leaving its markup intact just above the floated global nav div.

Hi, I'd still include the link (as the first link on the page) as I imagine you're still going to have other browser content before you get to your page's main content (headers, logos etc.) -- unless you want users of screenreaders to have to sit through that for every page. I'd say anything that adds to the usability of a site for any group is worth including. Also, it's very easy to hide these links from other "standard" browsers if you so wish, so it's not really much of an overhead to include them.
