Hi Phil, Yes, you are right, and screenreaders have the opportunity to skip the nav, for instance. It is just that when I work with this I keep having the feeling it is a bit overdone and I keep looking for some logic to simplify things. So I wonder how others deal with this, maybe something I didn't think of...?
